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.
Love it! my top boy name

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.

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.

I like it it's really cute :-)
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.

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

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.
