Nico Klaus?
I just happened to put Nico Klaus together in my head one day, not realising both nsmes come from Nicholas. I like they way they look together but is it silly to pair two names with the same root?

Absolutely ridiculous. When you say them together it's just like you've stuck a O in the middle of Nicholas so it just seems like you're trying to be clever, like Stan Lee. Basically it sounds like a joke.

Santa Claus strongly comes to mind (:

It makes me smile, but I think it might be too much as a real name. It would be a fun pet name for someone named Nicholas!

I immediately thought "Nicholas," so yes, I think they sound silly together. I am a big fan of Nico in general, though.

I think it looks wrong, just something about it...

It's pretty obvious that Nico Klaus is derived from the same origin so it looks pretty ridiculous. It reminds me of the time I encountered people named Liam William and Lisa Beth. I don't know if these were intentional on the part of the parents or if they just liked the repetition. Either way, it's just odd, imo.

I don't usually mind two names from the same root being put together- for instance, I know an Isabel Bette and a Megan Rita, and that doesn't bother me. But Nico Klaus sounds two similar to the original name. I don't mind Klaus Nico, though.

Way to silly to use, I'd say.
Plus it gives a strong Santa Claus vibe with the Klaus and the Saint Nick associations.
