I don't personally like the name as it is, but naming a child Nigel in Australia would seriously be bordering on child cruelty. Going through school, the chances are that most kids will be called a nigel at some point or another, and can you imagine how often they would get it if it was actually their name? Also the reason that nigel became slang for a loner is because Nigel is stereotypically a 'nerdy' and weird name and stereotypes like that wouldn't make for an easy adjustment.

If you really like it maybe use it as a mn like Amias Nigel, Ambrose Nigel or Conrad Nigel.
