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

Do you know a Nicole?

No, and I'm not saying that is especially sophisticated either. Nicole just reminds me of a 'common' popstar, or Eastenders character. Sorry 🙈

Watching ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and thought it was a dated choice. Then again the other babies have dated names too, such as Angela. (Wondering now if that’s the point...🤔)

I'm one. I'm very sophisticated!

I was born late 70's. I have only ever met 2 others and both were the same age as me.

I like my name. Always have. I don't like it's meaning though and would go with Lucy if that's a concern. Also I have a rubbish 5 syllable middle name that everyone else had atthe time and think it goes better with shorter names if you decide to use it.

Not at all kettle! Perhaps I'm basing it on the two Nicoles I know, but both are very sophisticated ladies! It suits a child and a woman too.

Kettleonplease - I would never have thought of Nicole as a 'common' name... There is a long list of those kind of names before you would get to Nicole. But each to their own 🙂

I get the people saying it might be a bit dated though.

But I think it's a pretty name and is a lot nicer than some of the old school names making a come back.
