Nicklas

Last week, a neighbour’s son was coming to visit and when we were introduced, I heard “Nicklas”. To this day I’m not sure if his name is actually Nicklas or [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] (and I just misheard it. I only heard the full name once and then everyone referred to him as [name_u]Nick[/name_u]), but that’s not the point of this thread. I am just crushing hard on the name Nicklas.

It sounds very familiar, yet unusual. I like [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and its other variants, but only recently I realise I really like Nicklas. What do you think about this name, Berries? [name_m]Will[/name_m] everyone get his name wrong anyway? Does it go well with other names on my list? What middle names would you pair with it? [name_f]TIA[/name_f].

Nicklas sounds like a quick pronunciation of [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] to me. Not a fan.

I much prefer the spelling [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]. Nicklas just sets him up for a lifetime of correcting people on the spelling of his name.

I like it. Nicklas (and Niklas/[name_m]Niclas[/name_m] etc.) is widely used in Europe so it has a lot of history and isn’t just a creative spelling for the sake of being different. However depending on your location it might be mistaken as [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] often. Maybe even to the point of being annoying, but that really depends on how you feel about correcting people about it.
My favorite variation is [name_m]Nicklaus[/name_m].

I think Nicklas and [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] are both handsome. I personally, because I live in the US, would go with [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m].

I like Niklas! I prefer this simpler and more usual European spelling, though. I think it goes especially well with [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] and [name_m]Marius[/name_m] from your list.
