Yes, you take the riders first initial and add azza. Barry Shene was affectionately known as Bazza. Darryl Beatie was sometimes called Dazza.

More info as I look for it:

"BAZZA" IS THE TYPICAL British nickname for Barry. However, it was given added import at the time that Barry Sheene came to prominence in the 1970s by the Adventures of Barry McKenzie, an extremely popular and very scurrilous cartoon character penned by Barry Humphries about the exploits in London of an expat Aussie whose mates all called him Bazza...as did Barry Sheene's.

From listening to GP commentaters for 15+ years and reading alot. :laughing

Its an Australian thing. Gobert was called Azza, but Mick Doohan was never called Mazza that I can recall. Just called him Mick 'cause he was a hard bastard and kicked everyone's ass and you gave the man respect like it or not.

From a site I found:

Part VI: Naming Conventions

Almost nobody in Australia uses his or her actual name. Sometime in their lives, most Australians will be christened with the most unlikely moniker you can imagine.

If you are overweight, you'll be called Slim. If you're short, you'll be called Stretch. If you are a redhead, you'll be called Bluey. (I have a hypothesis that that last one relates to redheads having fierce tempers, because a fight is sometimes called a 'blue' over here. As in, "The wife and I had a bit of a blue about leaving the toilet seat up. I wish she'd stop doing that." But that could be complete crap.)

Similar to the 'ie' phenomenonie, if your name can be abbreviated and have an 'o' or an 'a' stuck on the end, it will be. For example:
Gibson: Gibbo
Robert: Robbo
James: Jimbo
Sharon: Shazza
Barry: Bazza
Warren: Wozza
(These are all pronounced with the same enthusiasm as "WHAZZZUP!" from the Budweiser commercials.)
