Nice

I think it's boring and overrated.

It doesn't top the list for my personal taste, but I think it's nice and classic. It's refined. I would think well if I met a little Nicholas.

same level of 'cant go wrong with it but is kinda boring' as Alexander.

Dislike the nickname Nick but Nicholas full is fine.

I would have considered it for a son; DH however said firmly when I was pregnant that he would never send his boy out into the world without underpants.

Love it! Classic and masculine. :)

Nicholas is an old, old favorite. When I first started paying attention to names it was among my Top 10. Then it dropped off the list some time in college, and stayed off the list. For a long time. Now it's back, and I don't foresee it leaving! (My whole boys list seems pretty solidified now.)

I used to struggle with middle names for Nick, though. In real life I've encountered Andrew, Anthony, and Patrick as middle names - and I honestly don't really like any of them (Anthony edges out ahead of the others as a middle name, though - at least there's no "Tony"). I cycled through Connor, Owen, Ronan, and Rowan as middle names mainly, before remembering that Caleb existed.

I think it's beautiful, and it doesn't make me think of any one particular type of person, which is good.

Nicholas is a solid classic. I like the history and meaning and would consider using it.

The only drawback is Nick as a nickname. Nico is a bit fresher.

Timeless and classic. Love it.

I love it. It's rich in history. It's high on our list because St Nicholas is the patron saint of Greece. I particularly like the meaning of Nicholas. The nickname possibilities are fun too. Nick, Claus, Cole, Nico, etc. I wanted Cole, but SO doesn't like it. I'll probably push for Claus because it has personal meaning for us. To me, it sounds like it belongs on royalty.
