Google confirms it is a first name but will it be judged?

The name Nicol has popped into my head! We have actually agreed on boys names (for future reference) but Nicol has really grown on Me🤔

how about nico?

We have a close friend and his second name is Nicol and we'd have used his first name as a middle name anyway but I'm liking using his last name as a first for a wee nod towards him 😊

It’s nice, unusual without being weird.

Don't like it. Reminds me of nickel

Is it pronounced differently than Nicole?

Ivebeen in Scotland Nicole is pronounced Nik-coal, Nicol is hard to describe but more like Nik-l

I like it!

I love it but I am Scottish and don't think it is at all unusual.

I know a Nicol (male). He's Scottish. He's the only one I know.

I went to school with a Nicol. Never met another one. It's okay imo but i don't love it.

I agree with Sabine, nice, unusual,but not weird.

I worked with a Nicol back in Scotland. Guy was a bit of a div, but I don't think that was as a result of his name

I've never heard of it and as in used to the more known Nicole/Nicola, it looks a bit unfinished to me. For a nickel type pronunciation, I'd probably spell it with a double LL if I were guessing,but presumably the single L is the established spelling.
