Which do you prefer? Nicholas to be called Nick most of the time. Is Eric too old?

Nicholas. Has the option of using the full name, or different short versions.

I prefer Nicholas. It ticks the international box and has the nn potential of Nicky, Nico, Nick.

Eric really isn't for me.

I think Nicholas is a lovely name - Nick or Nico are both great options for shortenings.

When you say international names do you means one that work well across lots of different cultures / languages?

some ideas:

Adam
Alex
Ander
Anton
Ari
Arlo
Axel
Ben
David
Dean
Felix
Finn
Gus
Hugo
Ian
Ivan
Jack
Jonas
Karl
Kiran
Lars

Leon
Liam
Linus
Luca
Marc
Mark
Max
Milo
Oscar
Oskar
Otto
Owen
Roman
Ronan
Ryan
Sam
Theo

Thank you! I wonder whether to do with a C or a K? Our main criteria is for it to be international and so I think Eric works. If anyone has any suggestions of similar short international names I’d be most grateful!

Eric/Erik is getting more popular. Personally I love the name and don't think it sounds old at all.

Love the name Eric. Find Nicholas a bit boring.

Both nice. Good choices.

I would go with Eric.
