Nigel is very "British" to me, and old-fashioned to boot, so therefore I LOVE it. :b

I happen to like Nigel. I think it would sound refreshing on a child. I've never cared for Niall or Neil though.

As poetic_freedom said unfortunately in Australia there is a popular term for a loner 'Nigel no friends'. I think most Aussies associate it with that term now. However outside of Oz there obvioiusly isn't the same problem.

---

Having said that though I can't say I particularly like it in any case. It sounds harsh to me. I do love Niall.l

I really dislike Nigel...but that is probably because it is Australian slang for a loner, and every Nigel I have ever known has been really quiet, introverted and antisocial.
Yeh whenever I hear the name I imagine people shouting 'Niiiiigeellll' which basically translates in Australia to them being a loser.

I think Nigel is a great name. I tend to like classic names with it.

On a cartoon show, "The Wild Thornberrys", the father was called Nigel. I really can't get away from that association. (The character is a British guy with a big nose, loveable and funny) I do like Niall and Neil, though.

---

Names that go with it:
Nigel Frederick
Nigel Mark
Nigel Anthony

---

Or did you mean siblings that go with it? Here's some ideas:
Brian
Arthur
Jonathan
Kathleen
Rosie
Maria

Even though I dispise "The Wild Thornberrys" it does remind me of Nigel from the show. So don't like that name. I still wouldn't like it if it wasn't from the show.

Nigel's not bad. I'm not particularly fond of it, but I think it's acceptable and tolerable. Good mns might be: Joseph, Andrew, Robert, Thomas, Matthew, Matthias, William, Edward, Isaiah, John, James, Frederick/ Frederik/ Frederic, or Werner.

Nigel is okay...its different, and I dont hate it, but not something I would use. Which is okay, because I love so many boy names its hard to choose which I will use when the time comes. I dont mind it on someone elses kid...

Cute!

I'm partial to Niall as it's a family name, but Nigel is great too. I'm not so hot on the name Neil. I think Neil (or is it Neal?) Diamond ruined the name for me early on. A similar sounding name that I like very much is Noel? Have you considered that one?
