I think this name is very interesting, and could sound youthful or mature. :) It's strange, in a very good way.

Nils is an adorable name for a little boy, and still doesn't seem ridiculous on an older man. It's short and easy to say. It seems like a good name to choose if you want an uncommon (but still nice-sounding) name.

Pronounced NILL-s, not like Niles. Common nick name is Nisse, which is also what you call a small gnome/ Santa's little helpers. Tomtenisse is sort of "small santa".
