Re: Nickolas/Nickolaus
in reply to a message by Frozten
I think it kind of depends. Different countries will think its spelled different ways. If you are in America, you will be correcting them no matter what though since most people seem to sp it Nicholas (even with a common alternative spelling, I have been correcting people all my life)
But I prefer Nickolas because to me, the u makes it look stupid. I really dont like the look of Nickolas, but its tolerable. -laus makes it seem like you are trying to honor Santa Claus by NICKoLAUS. I know poeple who have used Nicholas because their son was born so close to Christmas and was honoring the holiday cheer by that, but at least the spelling was "correct" (nothing but my own opinion)
