Shaz as a nickname

What would people think of the nn Shaz? As a foreigner I get the impression that in Britain anything that sounds like Chezza is a no no. What about a non British name, which when shortened, would be Shaz? Would you judge? Please be honest because I am not particularly attached to the name. Is it better to avoid, for a person who's going to spend their life in this country?

I'd assume it was short for Sharon. I personally don't like those Z nicknames, reminds me of idiots called Baz and Daz.
