Thank you so much for your answers !
And reading them I feel better ! I can give that name even if I have no links with Russia ! To answer to Ylva : I know that this name is very common in Denmark ! I live in Denmark now (I go back in France next year) and it's here I've discovered that beautiful name ! :-) Thanks again !

I think Nikolai is a great name. I also don't think it matters if you use it even though you have no Russian heritage.

My best friend's son is named Alexander Nikolai and I know a Jenson Nikolai.
I think it's cute and ages well. I like Nicolae too.-Seda*

Nikolai is used in Denmark too, it is not as if only Russians were allowed to use it. Just as most Isabellas don't have Italian roots, their parents just like the name."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

I like the name. In fact, I like almost all variations of Nicholas, so I would definitely be inclined to like it. I actually named one of my newest storybook characters Nikolai. :-) Nice name.______________________

It's one of my professors' last names. I don't love it or hate it. It's really not my style, but if you two love it...use it."No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Yes, it's great and you should use it. It's so much better than Nicholas.

I love Nikolai. Personally, I wouldn't use it because I'm not really Russian (I'm like 1/8 Russian) and I think it the people in my family wouldn't approve, but I wouldn't think it's terrible if someone else did it. I wish we could open our eyes
