Comments for the name Nick

Actor Nick (Nicholas) Nolte is a famous bearer.

Some people use the phrase "in the nick of time." I don't know what "nick" is supposed to mean in this case.

I think that came from a nick as in "I nicked myself shaving" being a slight cut when something passes a hair too close to the skin. "In the nick of time" may mean "very, very close, timing-wise" in this vein of thought.

The Devil is known as Old Nick.

I love the name. Nikolai is a really cool Russian name but Nicholas is pretty good as well. The only downside is the nickname "Nicky" - not a fan.

A famous bearer is American pop music singer Nick Lachey.

Sounds like someone arrogant but hot. I don't really like "Nicholas," though, because I knew this really annoying kid with that name.

I have always loved this name, and Nicholas too. I think Nick is hot and sexy, but Nicholas is sweet and romantic! Everything about this name and its longer form is perfect!

I also really like Nick on its own.

Presenter Nick Knowles bears this name.

Nearly Headless Nick, a friendly ghost from Harry Potter, bears this name.

Coolest name to have.

Um, hello? Nick Wheeler, guitarist in the band The All-American Rejects! I'm surprised no one has mentioned him. Oh, well, I'm first.

Yes, well nobody has mentioned anything about Nick Jonas. He is part of the "Jonas Brothers" band.

Nick Cannon, host of Wild 'N' Out and he starred in Drum Line and whole bunch of movies that I can't remember.

This name is a part of a few expressions, and in British usage, it refers to stealing, so I have grown to find it annoying.

Nick Mason is the keyboard player from the band Pink Floyd.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Nick Chopper yet. That's what the Tin Woodman's name was before he was tin. Sometimes his first name was listed as Nicholas, but L. Frank Baum made it Niccolo once, I believe.

For any and all Maximum Ride fans out there, you may remember in 'School's Out - Forever', when Fang starts going by Nick, because Max was hiding his 'real' name. He also goes by Fnick, because Max occasionally forgets and switches halfway through 'Fang' to 'Nick'. Resulting in 'Fnick'.

This name is also slang for police station, so I'm not too keen on it.

Nick Saban, college football coach.

Nick Valensi (born Nicholas Valensi, January 16, 1981, in New York) is a guitarist for the American alternative rock band The Strokes.

While I find Nicholas to be kinda wimpy (of course, only my opinion), I think Nick is a cool name. I just wish it had a long form that I liked.

One of my favorite names. I love the full name of Nicholas, which is strong but gentle, and Nick is a nickname (haha) that is suitable for all ages. I would call my child both Nicholas and Nick, no problem.

This name sounds gentle, strong, and handsome. Because of the various meanings it could take as a word, I would never use this as a given name, but I love it as a nickname.
