Ok well, in America, Nicola is feminine and I don't like it. Sometimes I get things in the mail that have the title Ms. Nicola. I hate it. And I wasn't really brought up with the Italian culture for certain reasons so I guess that's another reason.
I was thinking Nick, but I don't think anyone really gets named Nick, its usually Nicholas. I like Nick better, what do you think?
Should I change my Italian name Nicola to Nick or Nicolas?
Well, "Nick" is usually used as a nickname (no pun intended) for everybody named Nicholas, or Nicola, Nicolas, etc.
You must bear in mind that you were named after a Saint widely venerated both by the Catholic and the Orthodox churches, and it's worth thinking twice before throwing that away.
If you really don't like the spelling "Nicola" (in Italy the feminine is either Nicoletta or Nicolina), in my opinion you should either go for the shortened "Nico" or the original Latin "Nicolaus".
Remember that it's also the name from where "Santa Claus" comes from (as a shortening of "Saint Nicolaus"). That should make you popular with children...
Reply:Nick would be a good nickname, but I don't think you should legally change your name. If nothing else it's a good conversation starter. Also, why is your name here johnny?
Reply:Nick or Nicolas is great and would be more masculine then Nicola.
