I play around with nic- names to honor my mom (not that I'm expecting / trying to conceive). Her name is
Nicole. :) I like
Nicole as is and I also like
Nicolette.
Nicola was one I came across recently that's been on my mind!
Nikola I associate as more masculine for some reason (though I know they both have masc and fem usages).
My most lives-in-Kentucky-loves-cows name on my list would probably be
Claribel, lol
