I've known Antonias, Alexandras, Matildas, Isabelles and Florences that have just been that, their full names. However, I've also known Toni, Lex, Lexi, Sandy, Ola, Izzie, Bella, Isa, Flossie, Tilly and Tilda, so it's very much up to an individual. I've never yet come across a Samuel that isn't shortened to Sam, though, not to say they aren't out there.
