Aussies do it!

My student Harrison gets called Hazza, we call my aunt Shazza in jest. But for Aussies we will shorten anything that we can, we seem to love slang! Even if a name is short, we will put something on it to change it! alot of the time we use y at the ends.

Ben = Benny
Scott = Scotty
Josh = Joshy
Matt = Matty

etc.
