No and I wouldn't like it.
My husband never used my name. He had a rotating list of nicknames he would call me. I've only recently come to realize that it bugged me that he wouldn't call me by my name. I wonder now if it was actually him being affectionate or just part of his controlling and manipulative behavior to strip me of my name. I'm sorry if that sounds crazily over-sensitive, but I had to live with this guy.
At work, there's someone else with my same name and I got stuck with a nickname at work too so they could tell us apart. Sometimes I hate it. I just want to be me. My name.
I'm glad that my therapist uses my actual name.
