I still wonder why it wasn't common in the 70s and 80s, when
Nicole was at the height of its popularity. People are sick of
Nikki now and I understand why there aren't many young
Nicolas around, it's just a mystery to me while people never used it while
Nicole was common because they weren't sick of
Nikki back then. I thought people would turn to
Nicola because it's less common yet still has the nn
Nikki, like people nowadays turn to
Madeleine because it's less common than
Madison and they can still call her
Maddie.
Yeah, you're right about the "cola" part, it bothers me quite a bit as well. Maybe that's why I prefer
Nikola.
