Thoughts on Nicholas?

[Joseph1989]

This seems like a good solid name, although not particularly common in the current generation. What do people think? We already have an Alexander and an Elizabeth. Thanks

I know a 22 year old. He really likes his name.
He is 'Nick' except for job interviews etc.

It must have had a bit of a resurgence about 1998 or it's my son you know!

Always makes me think ‘knicker elastic’

Love it! Goes with the other two nicely too

I know one and he loves his name, insists on Nicholas. Very few people give him a nick name, if they do its Nick which he finds amusing as his Nick name is Nick. He's not 22.

I think it's a great name. It was the name of my first love who I think of fondly, so it is a very positive sounding name to me personally :)

Surprised at the Noo's. How is that a nickname for Nicholas?

Love!

Nope. I hear knickerless.
He will get called Nick, Nicky, Little Nicky, , Nick Nack...

Lady at work is called Nicola and is nicknamed: ‘Nicki no knickers’!

I like nicholas.
I would probably call him Cole as a pet name.

Love it its one on my list but I would shorten to nick for every day

Love it!

Love it.

I have a friend with a Nicholas and they shorten it to Nico which is very cute and suits him and seems more modern then shortening to Nick

It's my DS's name so I'm biased!

Not keen, I think it's because there were so many when I was at school it seems dated. They all got knickerless at various points!

I love Nicholas! Goes great with sibling names also.

Not huge on the nickname on Nick though.
I love Nico or Cole as others have suggested.

Sorry but I find it an awful name, bland and wet.

Love it (I've come across it twice in the past 4 years, in under 3s)

Bit wet IMO, in the same vein as Jonathan.

I like it.

It was on my list. :)

I like it and like your other choices it is timeless. Nick, Nico or Nicol make easy nicknames if needed.

It's a l9vely name. A classic.

I like it.
