I was born in the US in 1990, so I grew up with countless Nicoles. I don't care for it.

Coincidentally, I'm reading Martin Amis's London Fields, which features a fascinating femme fatale named Nicola, so that name has been lodged in my mind. I love its galloping charm. I know it's dated in the UK (like Nicole in the US), but I'm quite taken with it.

I have, never met a Nicole.

I grew up in the 1990s/2000s in the UK and Nicola was a very common name. A Nicola might be friends with Danielle and Becky.

It's funny how one was more popular in one contient than another.

I think of Nicole as being very French and sophisticated.

So interesting! Here in the U.S., Becky and Danielle's friend would definitely be Nicole. Nicola sounds glamorous to me.
