Do you live in the UK Leatherr?

If you do, I think Nikodem works best, also love the shortening Niko.

I know a Nikodem- nickname Niko. He is adorable and therefore Nikodem gets my vote!

Is Ksawery pronounced a bit like Xavery? So is equivalent to Xavier?
I like it in principle but may be too hard to pronounce in the UK from that spelling - can it be spelled with an X at all?
Some friends used Javier for their son (she is Spanish) but decided to spell it Xavier to be a bit easier for non-Spanish speakers (it's a possible but less common spelling in Spanish).

Nikodem is the one that translates best into English I think, it's a nice name and he can use Nick when he's older if he wants.

Not familiar with these names or their pronunciations. I have always loved the Polish name Casimir however.

Agree that Niko is fab.

Margery Fuck off.

UmbongoUnchained · 03/09/2016 20:38

Seweryn is lovely.

MargeryFenworthy · 03/09/2016 20:36

Nicotine and sewers come to mind. Unusual choices.

I am not familiar with those names, but always loved the nn "Niko" (came across it in a fantasy book) so would go for Nikodem.

HarrietVane99 · 03/09/2016 20:35

Google tells me those are Polish names. I think Ksawery might be a bit too difficult in the UK. I quite like Nikodem. Niko is a nice nickname. How is Seweryn pronounced? Is it Sev-er-yn?

TrinityForce · 03/09/2016 20:35

How are they pronounced?

I like Nikodem for it's ease of pronunciation for me, but I can't imagine how the others sound. I'm sure they're lovely, though.

Ornacia · 03/09/2016 20:35

I like Nikodem.

It's a strong name.
