For a book club I am part of I am reading a novel by an Australian author set in Australia. The main character in this novel is called Megan.

I know that in Australia Megan is usually pronounced with the first syllable rhyming with "me" or "see". However, in this book Megan's best friend and husband both frequently address her as "Megs".

Would "Megs" rhyme with "legs" or "leagues" in Australia? And is it a common pet form for Megan there?

Thanks!
