Full Name or Nick Name vs. Common or Uncommon

Hey guys, so I was wondering is your name (on your birth certificate) considered a "full" or nickname? If your first name is a "full" name did you have a nickname you went by, did you just wish that was your real name? If you have a nickname as a first name did you ever wish your parents had given you the full name so you had options? I ask because my name is Victoria and I have gone by Tori my entire life, and I am trying to come up with a list of baby names and al the names I like are like mine where I love the nickname but there is a "full" name for it? Make sense? People are telling me to use the full name so my kid has options but I had always wished my name was just Tori, so I feel it would be easier for them? Advice please? Also do you have a common or uncommon name, did you like it? Thanks guys!

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
