Remove en_AU_ocker locale

[matthewmayer]

Clear and concise description of the problem

Seems this locale was originally added as a jokey way to add Australian slang names

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocker

['Bazza', 'Bluey', 'Davo', 'Johno', 'Shano', 'Shazza'];

But there's no API to access this: https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/en_AU_ocker/person/ocker_first_name.ts

So the only way is via faker.helpers.fake

faker.setLocale("en_AU_ocker") faker.helpers.fake("{{person.ocker_first_name}}") 'Bluey'

This seems not worth maintaining a whole locale for, it gets in the way when trying to fix l10n bugs. Maybe remove for 8.0?

Suggested solution

Remove en_AU_ocker

Alternative

If there are sentimental reasons for keeping it, it could be kept (I'm not against Easter eggs per se)

Team Decision

We want to keep it for now. We might want to get rid of the ocker_first_name file though.

@matthewmayer Is that name list redundant to the first_name list? Should we merge them into one?

[matthewmayer]

i guess the first names are supposed to be supplementary to the standard first_name list? Would probably have to merge them in? They seem to be male nicknames.

I noticed https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/en_AU_ocker/location/street_name.ts and https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/next/src/locales/en_AU_ocker/location/region.ts also have custom content including another joke reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsay_Street
