HI Rob, Yes, I know Australia's language is English. It's the your accent that I don't have much familiarity with. I have enough experience with the Portuguese accent to figure it out, especially in various regions of America (because I live in America). But the Portuguese accent with yours is what I am unsure of. Osiama or whatever is not a Portuguese name. The name is corrupted. It may be Ignacia or one of the other names. Either way, I think it's just a 2nd name and not a surname so they may not be related. They could be, but I would research as if they are not. Good luck!
