I was given a modern, very uncommon, nicknameish name but I was mostly called by other, nonsense nickname. While I have sometimes wished my parents would have gone more traditional route and given me some traditional name and then nicknames, aside of that nonsense nickname I would probably been saddled with anyway, could had made of that name, I have learn to live without formal sounding option. Silly thing with my name is also that it should actually be pronounced differently with my dad's language than my mom's.
If I was to name myself now, I would likely take some traditional name my current name could be a shortened form of and continue using my current names aside of formal situations. I did hate my name as a teen, but it has grown for me.
