What would Nico make you think?

[Lk8920]

Could be Nicolas or straight Nico. Mainly worried about posh/pretentious…

What about just Nicholas?

Nico is very French for me

I'd just think Italian. Struggling to see how it's posh or pretentious..?

This and I was going to say Nico Rosberg too. F1 world champion 2016.

I know an Italian Nico and a completely English Nico, both male and definitely not posh. I like the name and wouldn't worry about using it or having a longer version.

Nico is the polar opposite of posh in my area (very working class large council estate).

Also very popular name for dogs and cats around here.

Love love Nico, but on its own. Would either think Nico Parker from The Last of Us or Nico Di Angelo from the Percy Jackson books. I would think Italian/Greek of the sorts.

Italian waiter

Velvet Underground would be my first thought. I wouldn’t necessarily think Italian as I also know a French Nico. I do think if you go for Nicolas he will be destined for a life of saying ‘it’s Nicolas with no h’ but I really like Nicholas and think it’s underused.

Either Italian heritage, or English parents with great taste in names.
Love it !

I like the Welsh Neco, pronounced the same way as Nico is in English, ie nee-ko

Great girls name. Velvet underground connection for me too

Nico, short for Nicola, male, Italian.

No further comment.

I'd think Greek.

Brooklyn 99 Nicolage

Reminds me of the ITV show Midsomer Murders. And it’s a lovely name.

I would think you're Italian...

A for Adley on You Tube.. 😁. I like it though.

Me too

@namechanger563 , Neco isn't a Welsh name and if it was it would be Necko.
I know a welsh Nico and he's Nickoh

The middle aged woman on Emmerdale

Girl, parent is velvet underground fan
def not posh

Me too. I'd never let her anywhere near a bicycle.

My nephew is a Nico so I’d think of a baby Spaniard. It’s a perfectly charming name. I don’t know any Italian Nicos but I know a South African one. And ofc the f1 drivers.

Now I can't stop singing 'Up to Lexington, one-two-five, feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive'. I loved that song at a time when everyone I knew was getting mellow with Crosby Stills and Nash.
