Abbreviating your name

Does your name have abbreivations/short versions/nickname versions? (James -Jim, Margaret -Peggy etc) And if so, do you like them/use them?

My name has three syllables, I generally like to hear them all. Beest shortens it a little to the most commen nickname version in the UK (two syllables). Since I moved to the US. some people try to use just the first syllable. That s toally not happening. I get quite precious about that.
