Nick

[Ronso]

Nick is my favourite boys name (short for Nicholas) but wanted to know other people’s opinions! Also may use Nicky as a nickname when younger.

Yep fine. Easy to spell, easy to say.

Thank you!

Nice name but not neatlybas popular as it was 30 or 40 years ago. If you do choose it, I would go for the full version and not the short formi do like Nicky as pet name for a little boy.

That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Nicholas on birth cert
Nick day to day
Nicky as baby

I think it's nice

Nicholas is a classic. I would definitely use Nicky for a young boy though. Nick sounds very grown up. I would imagine Nick to be at least 8+. It's just one of those names! I feel the same about Matt. Matty is lovely on a young boy, nn for Matthew, but Matt feels too grown up until they're at least 8.

I really like Nicholas / Nicky / Nick and you rarely hear it these days, so it hits that sweet spot of being familiar but not too popular.

Yes very nice. It's one of those names you don't hear very often these days for some reason.

Lovely classic name, I know a young Nicholas who goes by Nico which I think is cute for a young boy & love Nick for older child & onwards!

Nicky is so feminine - short for Nicole, Nicola erc

Nick is ok but I know lots of 50 plus year olds

I love it

I think it’s so so dated.

Every boy Nick I know is 50 plus.

To me it would be like calling a baby Steve, Dave, Martin, Paul. Nothing wrong with those names as such, but just of their time. It’s not a classic like James, William, Harry, George.

It’s fine - but please bear in mind what your surname is. I genuinely knew of a Nicholas Hawes whose parents didn’t realise their mistake until it was too late.

I don’t get it… put me out of my misery!

I love it and wish I'd called DS it

Nicholas Hawes / Knickerless Whores

Ah thanks! I think I missed it because of accent differences!

I think Nicholas is lovely. I know a 2 year old Nicky and he’s adorable.

I don’t get it?!

Nick is your buddy

Nicholas is also one of my favourite names too! It’s classic, timeless. Nicky cute when young, Nick when older.

I chose Nicholas, my son is 36 this year. Everyone calls him Nick
I gave never called him Nicky(doesn’t stick with me as I gave niece called Nicola who is Nicky)

I know a 54 year old man and he’s still a Nicky!

“Nick Hawes” said quickly sounds like knickers I guess?

The “knickerless” thing is the only problem with Nicholas but I still really like it - it’s a lovely classic name that’s sadly underused now.

Personally my preferred nicknames for Nicholas would be Nico or Cole these days (or maybe even the European Claus) but only as I associate “Nick” with a lot of older blokes now (just like “Dave”, “Steve” ,”Mike” etc). But maybe it would be a refreshing change to meet a young Nick now as well- I suppose if similar sounding Jack and Zack are popular then why not Nick too?

Bring back Nick! I have an uncle Nick who I always thought very glamorous as a child. He had many girlfriends, a deep chocolate brown voice, and he drove an articulated lorry. Go for it, OP!
