Nico is cool.

LouiseTrees · 28/02/2021 10:32

If you are Italian then Nico. If not, probably one of the others. I like all 3.

Poorlykitten · 28/02/2021 10:33

I’m sorry none really. Nico at a push I guess.

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 28/02/2021 10:34

I love Anthony. But they’re all nice names - I don’t dislike any of them.

Snowymcsnowsony · 28/02/2021 10:34

Ndn has a Tobias /Toby.
Ex is Anthony he is 50...

justanotherneighinparadise · 28/02/2021 10:35

Like them all!

Chilldonaldchill · 28/02/2021 10:42

I love Nico and Tobias/Toby.
I really dislike Anthony sorry. I know lots in their 40s and one in his teens who is known by an unrelated nickname.

SundayTeatime · 28/02/2021 10:48

Anthony is nice, uncommon now. My favourite.
Nico is OK if short for Nicholas.
Tobias is fine.

Flymetothestars · 28/02/2021 13:40

Nico
Love it

partyatthepalace · 28/02/2021 15:44

Nico, but I’d call him Nicholas or similar on birth cert as Nico does sound like a nn

Love Tobias but don’t like Toby and would worry it would get shortened

Don’t mind Anthony, and Anto is ok as nn but would worry it would get shortened to Tony which is but grim

DarcyJack · 28/02/2021 15:55

Nico if italian or Nicholas or Anthony otherwise

Whatsyourflava · 28/02/2021 15:56

Love Nico
The one I know is not Italian

AdaColeman · 28/02/2021 16:01

Tobias is super! Toby is a good nn too.

I'm not keen on Nico, and you would probably be limited to Nic/Nicky for nn.

Mavedrai · 28/02/2021 16:06

Anthony -- great classic name. I like Nico too if it's a nn for Niccolò/Nicolas/Nicholas.

finallychangedmyusername · 28/02/2021 19:43

I really like Anthony, Nicholas and Tobias (slight preference for Nicholas). (As nicknames I like Ant, Nico, Nick or Nicky and Toby).

But definitely Nicolas or Nicholas on the birth certificate.

You may also like: Benedict, Gregory, Sebastian, Alexander, Dominic.

Tallybeebloom · 28/02/2021 19:46

If you are italian Nico, if not I like Anthony.

KirstenBlest · 28/02/2021 20:34

Anthony but I'm not keen on Ant. I know a girl called Nico.
Toby is nice.

alexdgr8 · 28/02/2021 20:35

Nico is not a proper name.
the other two are.

JerichoGirl · 28/02/2021 20:55

@alexdgr8

Nico is not a proper name. the other two are.
Don't be silly
RuthW · 28/02/2021 21:51

Tobias is lovely

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 01/03/2021 01:52

Nico is very cool (but does sound quite Italian/European so if you are in the UK, I'd personally consider giving him the option of Nicholas or Dominic on the BC).

Tobias is lovely if a bit more popular (but I prefer it to just Toby which is even more popular). You might like similar Elias?

Anthony feels a bit dated for some reason (weirdly the female Antonia doesn't) - and I dislike the nn's Tony and Ant so it wouldn't be one I could pick.

Ellbell24 · 03/03/2021 01:30

Nico is a beautiful name!

RightSaidRed · 03/03/2021 01:40

Nico is short for Nicola (male name ending in an unusual a rather than an o in Italian). Full Nicola does not translate the same in English as it often gets pronounced incorrectly to sound female.

Ijustlikedthename · 04/03/2021 20:41

Nico
