Do you know an Austin?

[BusyBee86]

If so, do they have a nickname? Not sure if it can be shortened or not. Can't think of what it could be shortened to!

[SummerRainIsADistantMemory]

Yes, he's a twat though so I don't call him anything tbh!

[BusyBee86]

Haha thanks or that, made me laugh!! Anyone else?!

[BusyBee86]

For*

[DuchessFanny]

I know an Austin, but we all ( family, friends ) use his full name ( interestingly he has also been known to be a bit of a twat !)

[ISpyPlumPie]

Only one I've ever known is an old cricket team mate of DH's. He's probably late twenties and doesn't have a nickname - is just Austin.

[ISpyPlumPie]

Btw as far as I know this Austin is not twat .

[WeAreSix]

Yes, I know 2 under 7yo with Austin as a first name and one baby with Austin as a middle name.

One is Austin one is Oz / Ozzy.

[MotheringShites]

Used to know one called Oz.

[Ficidy]

I know one. He's in his 30s and has always been known as Austin. Nothing else.

[Lighthousekeeping]

Yes and he's strange. Not a prat just, err, difficult.

[DameMargotFountain]

i know an austin too

guess what?

he's a twat as well

sorry OP

[HoobleDooble]

I know one too ... Beginning to think maybe a lot of us know the same one because, guess what? Yes, he's a twat!

[Lighthousekeeping]

I'm thinking that too and, dreading someone coming on and satiny "that's my husbands name"

[ChristianGreyIsAJackass]

I know a 2 yr old austin... He is cute most definitely not a twat

[Shybairns]

I know a 3 year old Austin who is a delightful boy. Not keen on the name my self.

[Ozfrazror]

Well my ds1 is called Austen and he is most definitely NOT a twat! We call him Oz 80% of the time. I love the name although possibly wish I'd spelt it with an 'I' instead of 'e' at the end because his name is always spelt wrong everywhere he goes!

[shellyf]

I know a lovely six year old called Austin.

[shellyf]

His siblings call him oz or ozboz.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Only a cat

[Rhubarbgarden]

I don't know well any but I've met three or four at playgroups. They've always been just Austin as far as I know.

[3HotCrossBuns]

My DS2 is also Austen (nearly 6) and he can be a little bugger at times!! He gets called Austy by us, everyone just calls him Austen. I also wish we'd spelled it with an "i" as it is nearly always misspelled. I suspect he will change it later, as an adult, as many emails will probably never arrive in his inbox otherwise!! I blame the post-labour hormones - "no, not like Austin Powers, like Jane Austen" Nonetheless lots of people tell me they like his name.

[MoelFammau]

I know an Austin. He's mid-20s. He's called Austin. Sometimes Doctor Austin. He's not a doctor. Lovely guy though, just to counteract the 'twat' Austins on this thread!

[DrMcDreamysWife]

I have taught a couple of austins, both quite strange odd little boys who didn't socialise well....

As a result not a name I would choose

[Ellypoo]

I know an Austin, he's only about 10. Sometimes called Aus (oz) or Ausser (ozzer) mainly just Austin though.
