Bin or Keep - Nicolette

[MuffinMouse]

OK. I really like Nicolette but DH thinks its too much like nicorette. Is he right?

Will it matter?

Like Nicole better. Didn't think of nicorette at all though if that helps!

i have to admit, i did think nicorette when i saw the title

but Nicolette IS a lovely name

He is right. Love Nicole, is that not on your list?

I did have to try very hard not to think about smoking when I read the title. Sorry. Nicole is sweet, though.

Do you like Colette?

reminds me of nicolette sheridan

Nicola? Used to be very common when I was growing up, but you don't seem to get so many these days?

I think Nicole is a beatiful name. I used to teach one who was lovely too.
Why do you specifically want a long name? Just preference or any other reason?
I think Nicolette is pretty, but ruined by the gum. sorry.

Sorry but no...!

He's right.

bundlebelly - three or four syllables, just cause my other two DCs have. I read the baby naming expert woman who wrote that if you have a pattern for naming, stick to it, otherwise the next child may wonder what was different about them... - Just made me think that the other two have long names that don't get shortened. But I'm finding it really tricky, and DH tends to veto rather than make suggestions (is this a man thing?)

I would go for Nicole or Colette

I think it's a lovely name -- one of my favourites, actually.

Much prefer Nicole. It's one of the few girls names where the simpler version is much prettier then the fussy version.

Stubb it out.

I didnt think of nicorette when I read it. lmao at valiumsingleton.

The first thing I thought was "For every cigarette, there's a Nicolette", which doesn't do the name any favours and also shows that I've been watching too much non-BBC telly lately.

My dd name is on your list mathanxiety.

Can't think of any more sorry muffinmouse - as you guys are married you can register her name without him

lazycow You've given some great suggestions - thanks and to everyone else! These names are now on my 'badgering list'
