Help[Opinions] I didn't realize... (m)
in reply to a message by Chrisell
...that Nicola could be pronounced NI-ko-la. I always pronounced it ni-KOLE-uh and didn't like it. The first pronunciation totally changed my view on the name! Thanks lol :)

No worries :-)
My mother's name is Nicola, so I've grown up hearing NI-ko-la and hearing her complain about people that use the other pronunciation :-D
It's a very English pronunciation and she's from England - I suspect the US pronunciation has been influenced by the Spanish pronunciation, which is the -KOLE- one.
