The origin of the name is Scandinavian and it's a form of Neil.-- Spazoe 4/8/2007
Nils is an adorable name for a little boy, and still doesn't seem ridiculous on an older man. It's short and easy to say. It seems like a good name to choose if you want an uncommon (but still nice-sounding) name.-- NatashaBulgakov 4/6/2009
I think this name is very interesting, and could sound youthful or mature. :) It's strange, in a very good way.-- -Julia- 9/6/2009
