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!

Yes, but he's about forty now. We used to call him 'Junior' as he was the youngest in our group.

Yes he is my 70 year old second cousin and it has never been shortened.

I know two one who is mid thirties and one early twenties and they both get called Oggie. Not sure if its a regional thing as I'm in the NWest

MrsJohnDeere · 27/01/2013 17:18

Yes, adult, 40 something. Twat.

Goodness, I knew one when I was at school. I expect he's in prison now...

cuillereasoupe · 27/01/2013 18:28

My grandfather was an Austin. He was a raving alcoholic, just to add to the pile of twats Grin

I know 2 - One adult, the other about 11, neither are twats or difficult or odd.

Adult sometimes gets called Aust, boy is usually Austin or Oz.

ellesabe · 27/01/2013 19:40

The only other nickname I can think of other than Oz/Ozzy would perhaps be Tintin.

SneakyBiscuitEater · 27/01/2013 19:48

I know a preschool age Austin. He gets Oz or Ozzie as a nn. He is lovely btw.

Cantbelieveitsnotbutter · 27/01/2013 20:00

My ds is an Austin he's adorable and not a twat (obviously!)
We don't shorten it but have thought of oz / ozzie

BNmum · 27/01/2013 20:11

i know an Austin at playgroup and he's an average little toddler, only time will tell if he turns into a twat. As far as i know he's just called Austin.

ilovecolinfirth · 27/01/2013 20:13

I know a 3 year old Austin. LOVELY boy...affectionately called Oz by mum only.

ravenAK · 27/01/2013 20:17

I teach a teenage Austin.

Prefers skateboarding & heavy metal to writing essays. Lovely lad, though.

bootsycollins · 27/01/2013 20:24

The only Austin I know is a grown up, he's a really lovely, cool guy.
