What would Nico make you think?

[Lk8920]

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

I would think F1 drivers.

When DS was born and placed on me I said 'Nico' as a name but DH vetoed it. He has Nicholas as a middle name though instead.

I think it's a lovely name and I also like Nicholas.

Velvet Underground.

Makes me think of the 1980s

I'd think you are trendy. Like milo.
You'd have people pronouncing it diffenetly - nick-oh or neeq-oh

I like Nico. I wouldn't think posh as the one DS knows is not. His parents are polish so I'd also not necessarily assume Italian if I met another. The velvet underground connection never occurred to me, and I loved them in my teens.
I have a Felix and was worried his friends would tease him about the cat food. Never happened, only older folk have mentioned any cat connections whatsoever. I don't think the contemporaries of any Nico's are going to mention velvet underground.

All of the alternative names are v posh - king names!

Italian

I taught a lovely boy called Nico and it reminded me of him

My family are Spanish and it's my cousins name so I'd think Spaniard

I’d think dark, wavy hair, dark eyes and dark skin. I’d also assume male.

Me too!

I’m Greek. Know lots of Nico or Nicos. Short for Nicolas.

All of the alternative names are v posh - king names!

I'm not so sure Louis is super posh. William's son aside, I've seen it more in a group with Tylers, Finlays etc.

I'd think Italian heritage or you just like something more interesting than the standard, boring, old man names people seem to generally go for

Velvet Underground

Nico is lovely

I wouldn’t assume you had any specific ancestry, I’d just assume you like very ‘current’, popular names.

Not a fan of Nico, unless you are actually Italian or Greek.

Much prefer Nicholas / Nick.

Italian boy

Would make me think "I wonder where they are from, what kind of name is that again, it is a foreign one right? Or maybe it isn't?? argh I can't keep up".

I’d think Greek heritage. Niko / Nico is a nickname for Nikos and very common in Greece. My friend’s Greek child is Nikos/ Niko and about 10 of their relatives

Nico Hulkenburg

Also my dog 😂

I like it! Reminds me of F1

Greek heritage probably

Nicholas with the nn Nico was on our list for DS, I loved it, DH wasn’t convinced. I wouldn’t use Nico as a standalone name tho personally. It’s nice, a good solid name imo.
