Thoughts on the name Nicole?

[Pudding01]

Dated? Boring? Pretty? Due a come back? 🤔

Do you know a Nicole?

I know a Nicole. 22 and absoloulty bloody lovely

Love Nicole, one of my favourite girl names but unfortunately it doesn’t go with our surname! Gorgeous and I think it’s timeless

I know a Nicole in her early 20’s. She’s fab. Also much nicer than Nicola imo. We do shout “papa” at her now and again but that would hold no relevance to a new generation.

I know a Nicole in her 20s and she is beautiful. The most thoughtful and kind person I know.

My sister is a Nicole. She's not always lovely! It's a great name though as you have a lot of choice of nicknames. Also, most people under 30 do not know the papa reference.

Papa

I like it

Papa??

It's lovely. Never met one at all.

Agree with pp that it’s a fairly timeless name

I think it is a beautiful name. We have just had a third boy, but Nicole was one of our favourite girls names.

One of the popular girls at my primary school was called Nicole thirty years ago, and despite that I've always liked the name . She was actually quite nice, which I suppose is why she was popular.

I think it’s lovely (although I have no idea what the papa thing is!)

Lovely You can't really go wrong with it. It's well known but not boring or common

I really like it as well. I was at school with a Nicole right at the time of the Papa? Niiiiiiiiiicole!!! adverts which although was probably a bit tedious for her would have very little relevance now.

It's kind of 80s and I knew a Nicole when I was young and just have memories of her mum hollering 'NICAAAAAWWWWL' at her. But I do actually love it, and it's one of those names that would suit a baby, toddler, teenager and adult. And also not totally ubiquitous nor totally out there.

Its a great name actually

Love it. Isn't that name of baby in hand maid's tale? I think that makes it cooler

I've got a Nicole as DD. It's a lovely name and not so popular that there are lots of them. I think it suited her when she was little and will also be a good name as an adult

I have a teenage Nicole 🙂love the name.

Wow, great response so far! 🙂

I know one Nicole, who is in her 20s, very nice, well spoken and gorgeous hair. She does get called Nicola a lot but I think that's just down to other people's ignorance... She hates being called Nic though, which I get, as Nicole is a very pretty name... What other nicknames are there??

I've never heard of the papa thing, I'll have to look that up! Papa as a nn is pretty cool though lol

My DD is Erin. My two favourite girls names at the moment are Lucy & Isobel. Maybe Nicole deserves a spot up there too 🙌

Love the name Nicole.

Love the name. I sadly cannot use it, but if I could use it then I would Also, love Lucy and Isobel.

My DD is a Nicole too, I love the name.

DD’s nickname is not even a shortening of Nicole, it’s something else completely.
Her friends sometimes call her Nici which I hate, Nic isn’t so bad but we personally never, ever call her that. She’s always Nicole or nickname.

I'm of exactly the right vintage to immediately think of 'Papa?' But honestly, this won't apply to most people - not those younger and not a lot of those older. I'm not that keen on it personally, but it's pretty and sophisticated, so why not?

My DD is called Nicole. It’s a great name only one other Nicole in DDs school. Don’t like that her friends call her Nic or Nicki I stick with either Nicole or sometimes Coles
