How to honour Nikolas in a girls’ name?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!

[name_m]Even[/name_m] though our first baby, [name_f]Elise[/name_f], was born just a month ago, I find myself thinking of our next baby’s name already!

We are only planning on having two children, so we want our next baby’s middle name to honour my brother even if it’s another girl! Our boy name would probably be [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m].

So, does anyone have any ideas how to honour [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m] with a girly middle name? Not sure what her first name would be yet, but here are the other names who were on our list for [name_f]Elise[/name_f] :

[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]

Thanks in advance!

With the names you like, my favorite middle name choices would be either [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f] or [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] would be lovely.

[name_f]Nia[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] are the only two I can think of? Does your brother have any hobbies you could draw inspiration from?

[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] or [name_u]Nicola[/name_u],

First one I thought of was Nikkitie, I actually knew a girl named this, prn like [name_u]Nik[/name_u]-ih-tye, and always thought it was an interesting uncommon [name_u]Nicky[/name_u] name instead of the common forms like [name_u]Nichole[/name_u] or [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f].

[name_f]Nixie[/name_f] is the only one I can think of that hasn’t been mentioned

[name_u]Nikita[/name_u]? Nikah?

[name_u]Nico[/name_u] would be cute.

[name_f]Honour[/name_f] [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m]

[name_u]Kolby[/name_u]

[name_f]Annika[/name_f] would go nicely.

I havent seen [name_u]Nicola[/name_u]/[name_u]Nikola[/name_u] mentioned yet.

What about [name_f]Nika[/name_f]? I know a girl named this and it’s so cute! Pronounced Nee - ka. It would make a great first name too.

I know someone named Nikolina, we call her [name_u]Nik[/name_u]. Its such a cute fun name and would be perfect for honoring the name [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m]!

I’m a fan of [name_u]Nicola[/name_u] and it’s underused! I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Nicola[/name_u] a lot. [name_f]Nicolina[/name_f] is also pretty. I like [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Nicolina[/name_f].

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! I appreciate it!

[name_f]Nicole[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f] are the more obvious choices, but as cute as they are for English speakers or European [name_m]French[/name_m], in [name_m]French[/name_m] [name_f]Canada[/name_f] they’re still too old sounding! Not ready for a come back here yet :wink:

I love the suggestions of [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Nika[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f]! Hadn’t thought of those! Thank you!
