I love [name_m]Nils[/name_m]. I am in the States and everyone I know pronounces it “neelz”.

[name_m]Nils[/name_m]! I love this - it’s so sweet and boyish and individual. I’d say nihlz, but I’ve never heard it spoken out loud so that may be just me!

Btw [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Oona[/name_f] is beyond beautiful!!

Wow, tough one! I really love both. I voted [name_m]Nils[/name_m] for its distinctiveness and the fact that it starts with the same letter as the full name. I don’t mind if nicknames don’t but in general I think it makes life a bit simpler for the bearer.

I prefer [name_m]Cas[/name_m]. [name_m]Nils[/name_m] is okay, but [name_m]Cas[/name_m] is much better, I think.
