My niece used to say how mouthful it was to write her name. She has two names plus her middle and last names. There were times that she cried for writing too long on her pad of paper. I jokingly say that you can blame your parents for giving her a mouthful of a full name. Now, she is not complaining about it because everyone just calls her by the nickname.
What do you think?
Is it advisable to have a mouthful of a full name for a kid?

All the kids in my family have short names but were all called a nickname while growing up.

@Shavkat It just makes sense to have nicknames that friends and loved ones call us.

It only matters when they do something, and you call them every name to get their attention. They also know when you do, they're in trouble. It doesn't matter if they have many names or the usual first, middle, and last. They know they're in trouble. My daughter has four names, and always knew when I used all of them along with her last name, she was in trouble. Mothers pass this to their children. I remember my mother doing the same to me. My daughter doesn't mind having so many names. She chose which one she wanted to be called.

I have been heard that full name will be given while a kid enters to school in his or hers school certificate.
Probably nick name will be set as an identity of love
Apart my Full name, I have been called by many nick names.
Some made me joy , some made me irritating... that's a different matter
