After thinking it over I have come to the conclusion that most of the men I know go by a nickname (Mike, Dave, Dan, ect.) while most of the women go by their full name. Womon over 50 are more likely to go by a nickname (Jan, Cathy, ect.)
I go by my full name all the time. There are only 2 people in the world who call me Storm rather than Stormie. I don't mind but I do prefer my full name. My parents and their sibs have fairly nickname-proof names by design. MOst of the rest of my family go by their full first name as do most of my friends.
