Cecil Wellington (1957–1996), better known as Nicodemus, was a Jamaican reggae deejay who released a string of albums in the 1980s and 1990s. Nicodemus was a pioneer of dancehall music and is credited with positively influencing many aspiring DJs.
This is no doubt a strange and unusual name. One that, if used, would almost certainly be for a character in a story or somebody's beloved pet. Speaking of which, I once read a book where there was a character (a dog in fact) whose name was 'Stoppit Nicodemus Davis' I always thought that was great. Very amusing :D.
Being an aspiring author with a fondness for unusual names, I've made up two characters with this name. One's a rat with a talent for sarcasm, the other's the leader of a troop of ring-tailed lemurs.
I love this name, it was my great grandfather's. Everyone called him Demus and his wife's name was Doris, I always thought this would be nice for twins. The way it is pronounced if correctly would sound like knee-co-day-mus and slowly as to not get the effect of a previous comment nic-co-day-mus which would remind me of ciggaretts. In any event I will use this for my next child being he is a boy. Very unique and wonderful to say.
