[Facts] Re: Is the name Nicolae still used in Romania?
in reply to a message by Rene
From my experience, most of the Nicolaes I know (of any age, actually) go by Nicu, the Romanian equivalent of Nick. But even in English speaking countries I'd expect most teenagers to put "Nick LastName" on Facebook rather than "Nicholas LastName". Same thing with Tom/Tommy over Thomas and Fred/Freddie over Frederick. Sometimes some full names can be seen as a little pretentious.Just my observations :)
