[Opinions] Re: Nicole
I'm kinda neutral on Nicole, but it's a decent name and there are Nicoles that come to mind that give it positive associations.
Nicki is ok, but I prefer just Nicole or Nicola (which I think is pretty... hmmm... just hit me that Nicola Myfanwy might be pretty). I know someone named Amanda Nicole.Myfanwy Nicole
Miguela N
N Anastasia
Ruthanna N
N Anneliese
Johanneke N
Dominga N
Esther N
N Elizabeth
N Jessamine
N Jessica
Kaede (rhymes w/ Friday) N
N Katarina
Arisa N
Miyuki N(I could give you some more to play w/ maybe if you want, but thought I'd keep the Jpns. part short)

Thank you for your suggestions! A lot of these are great.Myfanwy Nicole -I love Myfanwy. This is a great combo, but I'd like Nicole Myfanwy even more.
N Anastasia -Really pretty. I like how the fullness of Anastasia and the sleekness of Nicole play off eachother.
Ruthanna N -I like Ruth Nicole or Nicola Ruth.
N Anneliese -Nicole Annelies is great too. Reminds me of Anne Frank.
Dominga N -This is so fun!
Esther N -Gorgeous
N Jessamine -I like Jessamine Nicole also.
Arisa N
Miyuki NI really like a lot of Japanese names, but I don't know that much about them. That being said, I'm surprised by how well Nicole sounds with the Japanese names you suggested. If you'd like to suggest some more I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

If there are any you specifically like, let me know and I'll give you kanji and meaning options. The nice thing about combining Nicole w/ Jpns. names is that the lack of "l" in Jpns. means you've no danger of matching endings.Erisa 恵里佐 ... or could just be Elisa w/ kanji since they don't distinguish between r and l in Jpns. Elisa Nicole would be quite pretty.Marika 茉莉香 (nice that westerners can say it w/out butchering it because there's a name w/ same sounds in the west)
Erika 恵里歌 (eh-ree-ka) dittoErina 恵里名 (eh-ree-na) This is pretty, but not sure I'd like it w/ Nicole... could be put on the side and combined w/ other names.Ayaka 礼歌
