Nicola? I've heard nik-OH-luh, NEEK-oh-luh, and nih-co-LUH. Which is correct? This has been annoying me for a long time, so please help!!
Thanks in advance.

I say all of them are "correct", though I personally say nik-O-la.

I think all of those are correct. The pronunciation I prefer is NIH-coh-lah--kind of like Nickel-ah.

I think it depends on the country and the accent. I say it nee-koh-lah (I'm French).
