[Opinions] Nicole?!?!?!?!!????
I was thinking about the name Nicole (don't know why.) but I was, and I was thinking...does it sound right on a boy too? To me, it doesn't quite sound right on a boy, but yet, the name is almost 2 boys names put together, Nick and Cole, Nickcole but Nicole is the same. Really, it might be okay on a boy, but he would be teased ALOT ALOT! What do you think? Cole or Nic / Nick would be a good nickname at least...hmmmm just wondering....wdyt?-Kaylen (aka Kay!)

DittoAnd Nicole could serve as a nickname for Nicholas if you are desparate to use it on a boy.

Not Nicole for a boy. I much prefer Niccolo or Nicola.

I would always think of Nicole as a girls name, although it probably originated as a boys name. I think most people consider it feminine. What about Nicolas, its quite similar, and you could use the nicknames Cole or Nic, or even Nicole as a nickname!

I prefer Niccolo and Nicodemus, but Nichol and Nicol would work.Array

I think that Nicole is a good guys name, but because most people view it as a guys name, it'd be like naming him "Jennifer"

Nicol and Nichol are more common spellings for males. I love them both!

Nicol/Nichol was a medieval male nameI like Nicol and Nichol for a boy, but would only use it as a mn nowadays. Other medieval pet forms of Nicholas I like for boys are Nicolet, Nicolin, Colinet, and Collet (though I would spell this Colet).Also, please be kind to punctuation. They don't like to be crowded together like that. :-(

I'd stick with Nicholas, Nikolai or Nicol for a boy. You could still use Nic(k) or Cole as NN with any of those. Nicole is way too popular as a female name.Also, please don't use excessive punctuation.

Nicole is a female form in English speaking countries.However, Nicol has been used as a male form. I think it would generally be better to name a boy Nicol than Nicole.
