Very cute with that retro Hollywood vibe. I do not believe nicknames are ever inevitable. I think family sets the tone for that. That has been my experience. I always use the example of two boys I've known named
Patrick. One was often called
Pat by his friends, and his parents called him that sometimes as well. The other was never once called anything other than
Patrick by his peers, or by his family. And technically,
Nanette is already sort of a nickname.
