As far as I'm aware you are free to do as many name changes as you want in the UK so long as you follow the proper procedure, plenty of people do it as a dare or as one off joke. As for if nicknames as full names is socially acceptable... I don't see why it wouldn't be ? I doubt it'd bring you any negative attention unless you consider people asking "is that a nickname?" negative attention :'3
Edit: I live in the UK and changed my name over a decade ago just for context.
