I swear there is a reason for this

[edenfalling]

For reasons that do not need exploring at this juncture, I need to crowdsource as many terrible and/or hilarious nicknames for "Nicholas" as possible.

I already came up with Nick-nack, Nickleback, and the potential for endless Christmas and Santa Claus jokes, but I'm tired and have temporarily run out of inspiration. (And yes, I'm aware that "Nick"-name itself is a pun.) We are not going in the "Lassie fell down the well" direction, though I'm open to stuff like Coca-Kolya.

Any thoughts?

Nick-Quick. Nesquik. Nick the Nicklenator. Buick-quick. Nit Yo Ass (Bit Yo Ass?).

Nit-pick-las. Fiddle Quick Das. Rich-o-mas. Lich-mo-mass.

Dick-o-less. Nicholas the Bicyclist.

...these are so bad. I don't know if any of them are at all helpful.

Nesquick is good! *makes note*

Hmm. Nicklenator doesn't quite work, but maybe... Nickle-plated? I feel that has potential.

[jjhunter]

Nickle-mated!

*blows a rude raspberry in poor Nick's general direction*

Nick, dick, kick yo later.

I love Nick-Nack, personally. Or Nickabrick for Narnia fans. Um... I’ll channel my best (worst?) puns as best as I can!

Nick of Time, Old Nick, Nickel and Dime, BeatNick, PicNick, Nickerdoodle, FinNicky, Tricky Nick, SputNick!

[edenfalling]

Nickerdoodle! Ahaha, that's perfect. I mean, the others are also good, but that one... I am in love. :DDD

[syrena_of_the_lake]

Yay, I’m glad you like it! And I look forward to hearing the reason someday :-D

Kinnick. Claes (actually a fine Dutch nickname for Nicholas) Klass. K-las.

[edenfalling]

Classy? ;)

The Nicholas I knew as a teen went by Nico. The pronunciation varied, sometimes 'nick-o' and other 'nee-ko'.

That opens up using various words like 'nicotine' or 'nicol prism.'

[edenfalling]

Hmm. Nicotine has potential...

[the_rck]

Oh, I know-- Pull something other than 'Nick-nack' out of that song. "Nick-nack paddiwhack, give a dog a bone. This old man came rolling home," offers a lot of options that will make in-group sense but not be immediately obvious to other people. You could even cross that with 'rickrolling' by having someone call him 'Nickrolling.'

[edenfalling]

Ha! Yes, that song has excellent in-joke potential. :D
