@NicolaElle I love Nicola! My Second Life name was Nicola Escher, named after one of my favorite femme fatales, Nicola Six (https://livesinlit.com/nineteen-years-old-nicola-six/)

I did think about Nicola for me, but my stepfather is a Nick, and I didn’t dig that association.

(I also dated a Nicola at university in Scotland briefly, but we won’t mention that. And she actually went by Nikki.)
