Nick?

We are expecting our second baby (gender unknown) and have a long list of names! We both really like Nick for a boy, but do you think it has to be short for Nicholas/Nicolas? Or do you think I can just put Nick on the birth certificate?

In addition , any comments on the name would be appreciated (or similar suggestions! Criteria is international and short!)

Yes you can just put Nick! Many people have as their official name one that was once a shortened version of another.
I love the full name Nicholas though.
