I like Nico, but more so as a nickname. I like it as a nickname for those you have listed. My favorite is Nikolaos, nn Niko.

I'm biased because DH's name is Nico short for Nicolaas. He's Dutch/Italian so that's the kind of guy I picture.

---

Fulls names for Nico I like: Nicolaas and Nicodemus.

---

I don't like the spelling Niko.

Nico pronounced neek-o immediately makes me think of Velvet Underground Nico, so I picture someone female with cheekbones and a moody look. I have known a male Nico pronounced nick-o, and short for Dominic, so there's another name for your list.

Niko seems entirely male, though. I quite like it as a full name.

I don't really like it..
My friend's boyfriend is named Nicolas, nn Nico. It took me almost two years to realize that his name was Nicolas, and not just Nico.

My favorite Nico- names are Nicodemus, Niko (with the Niko spelling) and Nicholas. And I think Nico works on a girl too. My name is Nicole, and my floorbacl coach calls me Nico.

I knew a Nico, and he was *not* a good person so the name has terrible associations for me. That aside, I don't really like it as a full name. I think it works better as a nickname for any of the names besides Nicholas (but that's because I don't pronounce Nicholas with a long "i" and I'd like the nn to sound like the fn). I like the Nico spelling better, unless the fn started Nik-

I just read an article where a couple had named their daughter Nico and I think I now like it more for a girl than for a boy. I've had a few students named Nico and they were little terrors so I think that is clouding my judgement :)

I like Nico! I also like Niko, but I much prefer Nico as a full name. I'd like Niko as a short form of Nikolai or something though.
I think a Nico would be a sporty/adventurous type of person.
Nicodemo is cool. Nikostratos, Nikodemos, Nicolaos, Nicomedes, Nicostratus?

Well, I am definitely biased on this one as I have a one-year-old son named Niko. I love the name. We picked it a year-and-a-half before he was born and never once second-guessed ourselves. And I think I still like it more every time I hear it. For me, it feels like a fun and spunky name. I think it looks more substantial with a k.

---

I also wouldn't mind it as a nickname for Nicolas, Nikolai, or Domenico.

Nico isn't really my style. I think it's better as a nickname. It feels insubstantial on its own.

---

I like Nicodemo and Nicholas best as full names for Nico.

---

I like Nico better than Niko.

When I hear Nico, I automatically think of an Italian mobster. lol. That's just my weird association though.
