I like it. But would spell it Nico and use it as a shortening for Nicholas.

JassyRadlett · 10/02/2018 00:16

Agree on Nico, it’s nicer.

Where I come from in Australia, a Nikko is a permanent marker.

As in Rosberg?

Sounds like a name given to the lead man in one of those Mills & Boon books in an attempt to make him to sound exotic and mysterious.

Nicole reminds me of that teenage character from hollyoaks Nico Blake, her parents were brother and sister (twins) and she was a bit psychotic and a serial killerGrin

I do like Nicole, Nicola, Nicholai, Nicolette, Nicolina (nick oh Leena/ Nick oh line uh)

ElderflowerWaterIsDelish · 10/02/2018 00:28

Oh disregard my last post with name suggestionsBlush , I just saw you was asking for a boy Grin

NewYearNiki · 10/02/2018 00:29

Nico is cuter, niko looks a bit like a brand name for something.

Apple23 · 10/02/2018 00:40

It's Polish, pronounced Neeko, short for Nikodem.

MorningstarMoon · 10/02/2018 00:45

No but only because I know a Nico and I absolutely hate him. The kind of guy who pulls the I can do whatever I want I'm insert here yeah crack on sunshine

Lennythelion14 · 10/02/2018 13:33

Love it. As some have said, use Nicholas or Nicodemus and then have Niko as a nickname. Gives him a choice of a formal name and a nice nick name.

MikeUniformMike · 10/02/2018 13:41

I'd go with Nico, short for Nicodemus.

floriad · 10/02/2018 14:04

I like it :) are you Finnish? (the Niko I know is from Finland.)
I also like Nicholas, Nikolas and Nikolai.

FannyHertz · 10/02/2018 14:17

I know both a boy and girl Nico, not short for anything. I like it!

BlackberryandNettle · 12/02/2018 22:18

Do you mean pronounced 'Neeko' or pronounced 'Nicko' ? I'm never sure when I see Nico. Both are nice, I'd assume they were short for a longer name though eg Nicolas

Toodlepip14 · 12/02/2018 23:22

Again, Xavier is better

thepatchworkcat · 13/02/2018 20:04

I know a Nico, short for Domenico (Italian) - I like it.

OuchBollocks · 13/02/2018 20:06

There was a German language programme on BBC2 many years ago about a Romanian man moving to Germany. The lead character was Niko.
