At least Nicola won't be snapping at me because that is an official boy's name in Italy! Unfortunately New Zealand doesn't use the name Nicola on boys! If Nicola is used on boys in New Zealand then teachers won't be mean to me because I will NOT be interested in boys named Nicola nor do I want to make friends with boys named Nicola plus that will be good for me because teachers will now be interested in boys named Nicola & not saying mean things to me because I am NOT friends with these boys named Nicola! At least I don't have to be hanging out with boys named Nicola! Teachers can have these boys named Nicola & never see me there with boys named Nicola on school fields! Well done Italy for making that name Nicola less attractive to me & more attractive to teachers because they are boy names in Italy!

The critically acclaimed 6 hour Italian movie La Meglio Gioventu (The Best of Youth) features two brothers, one of which is named Nicola. He's the reliable thread that holds the whole thing together.
I just got back from southern Italy recently (Calabria, and surrounding areas)... let me tell you, it is an incredibly widely used name for males there. Both those of older generations and young. A nice name. I didn't hear it quite as much in northern regions-- say, Roma.

My name is Nicola, and I'm a guy, also I'm 100% Italian. Anyways if you go to Italy there's a lot of guys with this name, it's a common Italian name. For example a common American name is John. Anyways people call me Nico (nee-ko) short for Nicola (NI-cola) and Nicola means victory of the people. I love my name. :)
Cola or Nicola di Rienzi was an Italian revolutionary in the Middle Ages who tried to re-establish the Roman Republic in the city of Rome. Failed in the end. Subject of a novel by Bulwer-Lytonn and early opera by Wagner. Hitler saw a production in Germany in which swastikas were part of the pageantry in the ballet segue and this is how the Nazis got the idea of using it as their symbol.
