OT Question: Why didn't the Turtles shorten their names?

In the original toon, the Turtles and their allies always called each other by their full name. In every other incarnation they always said Leo, Raph, Mikey and Donny, they even did that in Next Mutation. It would have been easier if they did call each other by their nicknames and let Splinter just refer to them by their full name. I wonder why they were always called by their full name.
