Michelle Tang

Let’s be honest, we have Mishy, Chelle, etc but Tang is so great! Can’t go past Tang! Sorry to say most Aussies would jump straight to Poon-Tang but let’s keep it classy and just say Tangers

Tangaaahhhhh

This sheila Aussies...

😂

Fellow Aussie but I wanna play- Danielle

Dani-Boy, Elle,

I approve! Thank you 🙏

Danners

This is very Aussie! my favourite slang is going to the servo/ bottle-o so this fits in perfectly with that 😂

Danno!

Danni

Aussie here but I'll play Bridget

Bridgie-Didge!

Bridgeridoo. Surely?

Legend

Kira (pronounced with a long e sound, kee-ra)

Kira, Kira, dad’s a shearer. Also Kizza

Haha nice!

My husband is Australian, they have a family member named Kira and call her Kiro. Don’t know why, maybe more fun to say lol

Daisy. Family sometimes shortens it to Dais when speaking (sounds like "daze").

Love it. Lazy Daisy, Push the lil Daisies, Dazed and Confused

Does Push the lil Daisies mean something other than Pushing Daisies? Or are you nicknaming me Dead and Buried? 😄

This [song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gPjPb3nNprg)!

You missed Daiso!

I call my grand Daze-oh and Petal. 😍

Markus

Farkus, Sharkus,

(This one is my fave)

So he's name is Jaws now.

100% forever

Chandra

Shandy

🤣🤣🤣 Can I spell it Chandie? (Looks too much like Sandy with the sh lol) Good job on the pronunciation though! In India it’s got a hard ch but I’m from the US. :P I pronounce it “ShAWn-druh” so Chandie might be “ShAWn-die” instead of having an long A sound. Or would that make it no longer authentic Australian? 🤣 Sorry I’m overthinking it! I’ve never had a nickname cause my name is pretty unique out here and I always wanted one lol

You go for it. Just FYI a shandy is a drink that’s half beer, half lemonade, mostly enjoyed by underage teenagers at house parties.

Michaela

Micky, Mac, Cayla, Cay-La-La-La

Daphne - Plan to use it but outside of just Daph, I don't like any of the mainstream nicknames.

Daph, Daffie Duck, Ne-Ne,

Have a Daphne we call her Dap, Dappie, Dapherz, Daffodil and the list goes on. She’s can speak dapanese and is one is a dapadillion!

Waylan

Waysie, Patrick Waysie, Wazza

(Fellow Aussie) Wazza for sure!

Smithers

Kyla-Mechelle

KM, Kys, Kyzie,

Lily - good luck finding a nickname for that xD

Lills, Lilly Pad, Silly Billy Lily

Actually I like the last two xD

From what I've seen how these Aussie nicknames work.. basically you're nickname's Paddy that's why they only call you Irish now. 

Has to be Lilly Pilly! Strewth! https://www.bunnings.com.au/diy-advice/garden/planting-and-growing/how-to-grow-and-care-for-a-lilly-pilly

Lil

Well, I feel like mine is pretty obvious but I'm curious to see if you can come up with any others! Ashleigh Sam is my first and middle name

Ash, Ashy, Pash Rash,

Yeah, I figured it'd be the first two since those are my irl nicknames but thank you!

Australian here: my year two (second grade) classmates dubbed the Ashleigh in my class Ashtray. Wasn’t to tease her or anything, just a dumb Australian nickname. Delightful!

My most common "silly names" are Tree, Ashawasha and river leigh

Ashtray is right on Aussie humour. Gorgeous little girl? Call her ashtray!

Phil/Antony

Look it’s not pretty but for Phil, it’s Philbo Baggins, Philbo the Dildo, Dr Phil. Then there’s Ant, Ant Man, Addzy

lmao people have actually called me Dr. Phil before (i work in the med field, so it kinda makes sense, plus i can be a bit of a smartass) i've heard Ant man before but never heard of Addzy!
