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?

Nought wrong with a nn ending in 'z'! I've had mine for over 30 years & its never held me back. But the snobbery against names such as Daz, Caz & Shaz is appalling & makes me laugh. They're only names after all.
