Any Australians out there able to comment to tell us if Jim-o is a valid nickname?
Nope. We usually shorten the last name instead if it doesn't roll off the tongue easily. Or we name them after a beloved fictional character, eg. jimbob.
Yeah I've heard jim-o before but I wouldn't say it's super common, things either end in 'oh' or 'ie' to roll off the tongue nicely so jimmie is usually the norm.
It doesn’t matter if it’s valid or not aussies will turn anything into a nickname
