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?

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.'

Hmm. Nicotine has potential...
