opinions on the name Nico for a boy please

Nicholas is also a family name so i think Nico is a nice version and not so common

Personally love it

shinyblackgrape · 08/06/2012 08:33

I love it. Not sure I can persuade DH.

Sorry, don't like it.
Then I don't like Nicholas either.

I like Nicholas, but prefer Nick to Nico - sounds more solid.

Hpbp · 08/06/2012 09:52

Nicolas, I love it. Colin is a nickname for Nicolas, less common than Nick.

AWomanCalledHorse · 08/06/2012 09:56

Nico is a Steven Segal film...I know it won't be very well known when your DS is grown up but it's my first thought.

Nicko McBrain is the drummer in Iron Maiden.

Nico is gorgeous and cool. It also works as a girl's name - I'm thinking of Nico from Lou Reed's 'The Velvet Underground'.

Yes. Cool!

PenelopeChipShop · 08/06/2012 11:06

I love it but I also thought it was a girl's name because of Nico from Velvet Underground! It does feel quite unisex though.

McKayz · 08/06/2012 11:08

I love it!! It is on my list if we have anymore children.

reminds me of the singer who was a bit nuts iirc

RooibosWithMilk · 10/06/2012 18:57

I know a Nico. I think it's a very cool name.

KosherBacon · 10/06/2012 19:52

I like it and associate it with Nico from the Velvet Underground.

LynetteScavo · 10/06/2012 19:54

Love it, always have. Smile

mamalovesmojitos · 10/06/2012 19:54

I think of it as a girls name. I also think it sounds a bit try-hard tbh, apologies. Nicholas is good, with nick or nicky possible as nn.

CustardIsMyNemesis · 10/06/2012 19:55

Nico was top of my boys name list, so obviously I love it!

hubbahubster · 10/06/2012 20:04

My partially-Italian nephew's name. To my ears it sounds a bit odd without any Italian connection.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 10/06/2012 20:06

I don't like it. I think thats because the only Nico I ever knew was a drug dealer and all round arse.

tammy234 · 10/06/2012 22:37

I like Nico a lot! Prefer it to Nicholas.
