Thoughts on the name Nicole?

[Pudding01]

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

Do you know a Nicole?

The Nicole I think is amazing is just Nicole, no shortening. Lived in Wales also with a Nicole and she was Nikki

I went to school with two Nicoles that I hated so it's ruined the name for me. I much prefer Nicola x

I think it's very dated, an 80s name.

No way! Very 80's

I know three Nicoles. Two born in the 80s, the other in the 60s. I like it, very French though.

Four, actually now I come to think of it.

Don’t like it at all. Also thought of Papa too.

Love it even though I'm old enough to think "Papa"! It helps that the Nicole actress was gorgeous too.

Well my dd was almost Nicole.
I only changed it when I realised her initials would have been nob
Good job I noticed before registaring her.

Lovely name

Love the name. I know a couple. I also know a Nicolette who has the nn Lettie

Thank you for all your replies 🙂

I asked because my DH has always liked the name and I wanted to see the response, as I've never seen the name on here...

A few negative amongst loads of positives. I think Nicole is a contender. But not sure it beats Lucy for me x

Lucy Nicole is nice. I do think Lucy goes better with Erin. (Isobel lovely too but too many around. Lucy is both lovely and unusual these days).

Nicole is so pretty! Much more sophisticated than Lucy. I think it goes well with Erin too.

I know two . One late 20s, one early teens. It's a good choice!

Lucy is better. Nicole is ok but dated.

I like it too, the only Nicole's I know are in their late 20s/early 30s and all really nice !

DS is Nicholas and if he had been a girl definitely Nicole - - Lucy is very commonplace

There was a Nicole in my DC's school I wouldn't say it was dated just different to current trends.

....DS is under 10 btw, and all the other Nicholas' I've met have been 35+ . Nice to have a normal name that's not overly popular

I know a Nicole in her early 20's she's lovely. I like the name, it reminds me of the very old Renault clio advert, Nicoooooole!

Haha just seen that it also reminds others of it too

I love it.

@mintich - 'Nicole'- sophisticated?! Are you being sarcastic?!

Do we take it your name is Lucy, Kettle?
