What would Nico make you think?

[Lk8920]

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

That you lived in a new build in Northampton and your furniture is crushed velvet

My favourite ever (male) singer's stage name is Nicola Sirkis. birth name is actually Nicholas.

Allez Nicola !

Nico is the usual nickname for Nicolas (Spanish version of Nicholas). Very, very mainstream name.

I wanted Nico for my youngest, but we couldn't agree on a long, 'Sunday name' version, ITSWIM?

Still gutted.

Anyway, if you like it, use it. There's enough people going mad for Angus/Arabella/Tarquin/Tabatha on here, you'll be out-poshed anyway. Personally I think it's good to have a formal longer name with Nico as a nickname but it doesn't really matter that much.

This. And would start me humming ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ in a German-accented croak.

It’s the opposite of posh and pretentious.

I actually bought 'Desertshore', and after I lent it to a friend, never asked for it back. I knew someone who worked backstage at a gig she did in 1981 and she badgered him for some speed. He gave her some, but it didn't seem to improve her singing.

My French ex-boss, and an (also ex) Italian colleague. So European men basically.

I love it, but my last cat was called Nico. Our current cat is called Rocco so I do love the Italian names.

But I do love the name Nico for a boy I think I'd go with Nicholas as a full name but we'd call him Nico

I live in Spain where it's Nicolás or Nico (neeko) for short so I would assume Spanish connections.
Why not use Nicolas with Nico as a nickname?

Makes me think of the girl from Runaways

Same

My first thoughts are Nico Rosberg and Nico Hulkenburg, both F1 drivers. I'd pronounce it Neeco and I really like the name. If you love it, use it 😀

Literally the most popular boy name in my village at the moment. I know 4 born in the last 6 months. All Nico's, not shortened for anything else.

This

F1 driver. Great name

For Nico or Niko, I'd think you had a Greek ancestry. Nick and Nicholas are great but there can be a bit of teasing with Knickerless. But then no name is immune from that type of teasing.

I would assume it was a French girl. Or some other European connection. But definitely a girl.

This. It sounds so try-hard when her screen husband refers to her as 'Neeeko' that I physically cringe. 😂

I would assume Italian. Definitely wouldn't think posh or pretentious.

Makes me think of killing eve 😂

It's cute but definitely not posh.
