[Opinions] Re: Nicola
in reply to a message by laurasaurus
I like it. Pronounced NIK-ola, not ni-KOL-a. I've only known one Nicola. She was my landlady. I like Nicola a lot better than I like Nicole, which is just okay.
I do like the nickname Nikki, so I win. I mean, it's the natural nickname... if you stress the first syllable. Nic and Nico and Cole are really mannish IMO ... they have that "I'm such a genderbender, look how edgy!" vibe that annoys me. But I don't think Nicola needs a nickname, because as you say it rolls off the tongue.
I like Nicola Vivian.
