Can’t decide if this is a great choice or if my hormones have gone wonky?! It’s never been on my radar before and all of a sudden I quite like it. I really struggle with boy names! Especially because it needs to vaguely work in Greek as have family in Cyprus. The Greek thing rules out a few of my favourites (probably boring but classic names like James, John and Edward).

I like the nicknames more than the full name but it's definitely underused these days!

Lovely name. A classic. Nick is nice too.

Great name. I like Nico for short as well.

I think Nicholas is a great name. I have a friend named Nicholas, and he is a wonderful person. He is 45.

I always hear knickerless, it's what a boy at school was teased with and totally ruined the name for me.

Yes, underrated.
