[Opinions] Nicole/Nichole
I love the name Nicole / Nichole, but it is SO popular. My favorite variations on the name are Nicolina and Nicolette. WDYTO the Nicole? Do you think it is dying down? WDYTO Nicolina and Nicolette? What other variations do you like? TIA!


Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong

I love Nicola. It's my favorite out of the Nicholas girl names. Nicolette would probably come second, nns Colette, Etta or plain old Nic (which I'd also call a Nicola. No Nikki, just Nic.) Something bothers me about Nicolina, it sounds like a product name. Nicole's fine, spelled Nicole only. I don't like the English pronounciation so much, I know a nee-KOHL (oh in kohl said like the o in more) and I much prefer it.

Nicole is just so done for me. I think you'll have to wait many more years until it's fresh and new again. Nicolina and Nicolette, however, are both lovely alternatives.

I love this name too!I like the spelling Nicole over Nichole, because I don't like the
"hole" part in the name. I like Nicolette, I think it's pretty and different - you don't really forget a name like that. =] And, at first, I didn't like Nicolina but I am beginning to. It's very pretty. I think Nicole is dying down, and I think its useable despite it's popularity. And if I choose it as a name for my daughter (in about 10 years) - I'm sure it won't be as popular as it has been in the past.

Nicole is nice, but extremely popular. I have thought of Nicolette as a nice alternative. ~~Kris~~

I love Nicole too! I really wish it wasn't so popular. You could use it as a middle name, to avoid popularity mishaps. I'm not big on the spelling Nichole, though. It looks like Nick hole to me.Nicolette is my favorite variation of the name.Tracy

I'm so bored with this name. It's been so popular lately that there's just nothing about it that appeals to me anymore. It's just a one big *yawn* to me, and quite outdated, too.Nicolette is NMS. I don't find it attractive enough. Nicolina is better, though still NMS.

I love Nicola.Nicole is still way too popular for me.Nicola is simple, but pretty, and most similar to Nicole.
I prefer Nicolette to Nicolina, but both are nice (though not favourites of mine).

My eldest dd's mn is Nicole (dh chose that). I don't think there are that many Nicole's being born these days. Between the two spellings, I do prefer Nicole because Nichole just looks wrong and makes me think 'hole.' I *love* Nicolina. It would be much more distinctive than Nicole, imo. Nicolette is pretty too although I have read on other name sites how this reminds people of Nicorette (smoker's gum). WDYT of Nicoletta or Nikoleta (Greek version)? Another version is Nicola.

I agree. It's a beautiful name, but VERY popular. My favorite version has always been Nicolette, because there can be many different nns for it besides Nikki and it's just a gorgeous name overall. It may die down soon, but should remain popular steadily for a while.

I'm not a Nicole fan at all, but I don't think it's all that popular. One alternative that you might like is Nichola.
