[Opinions] Re: Nicole
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
