Nicholas nn Nico

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What's your thoughts on Nicholas nn Nico?

Also how many children called Nicholas do you know?

Really like it - currently expecting a DD, but had she been a boy Nicholas/Nico was firmly on our shortlist. It's classic, easily recognised but not currently overused. And Nico instead of Nick/Nicky gives it a more modern feel.

I'm a primary teacher, and have only come across two Nicholases in two years. Our local area has a large Greek population, and I've noticed that Nicholas currently seems more popular among the Greek community than elsewhere.

I really like it I don't know any little ones called Nicholas, only adults. I think it's nice that he could use Nico as he grew up or go for Nick/Nicholas if he wanted to.

Sorry - meant 2 in six years! And that was across several different schools (I also taught supply for a while).

I only know one child called Nicholas, my son. I love the name, but then again I would, seeing as I used it.

Really love it. My dc are late teens, and I know a 17 yo Nico, plus two 19 y o Nicks.

I think it's great. Haven't heard of a young Nicholas for a long time and like the shortening Nico.

Love it!

Very nice, have always liked Nicholas, but not Nick/Nicky.
Nico is cool !

Nico is cool.
So is Cole.

And nicholas is a strong, traditional recognised name.

Yes Cole is fab !

I have a Nicholas. He insists on being called Nicholas and does not like it being shortened. There is one other in his whole school. I like it, not too common but still a recognisable name

Lovely!

Love it. I have two primary school age boys and don't know any.

Is it pronounced Nicko or Neeko?

Neeko.

Thought it might be. Thanks for replying. I know a little girl called Nico (pr. neeko) but it's not short for anything.

Am I the only one who just hears knicker-less?!

I'm with you indigo13...I also know loads of them...babies to adults...not keen on Nic/Nick for a child either but I do think Nicky is cute for a child and Nico for a child/adult...

Nico is one name where I prefer that short version than the longer Nicholas. I'd just go with Nico.

Are you going to pronounce it N-I-co? That would make sense for Nicholas. However the Nico I know who is not a Nicholas pronounces it as Nee- co.

Like it though 🙂
