babynamesis it just me or would the name Nicki sound odd on an 8 or 10 year old girl? I mean, Nicole wasn't very popular in the 1997-1999 years, was it? seems more like a name that would be on someone my age, give or take a decade.
don't get me wrong, parents can use whatever names they want, and if they want to use a name 10-15 years after it's popular, that's fine and dandy. or something. but I just got an American Girls catalog and there's a special edition "2007" doll, only available this year. the AG dolls are usually supposed to be 8 or 10 years old (I can't remember) which would make this, um, fictional girl born in the years I mentioned above. and her name is Nicki, which just strikes me as odd. it would seem for a doll that's supposedly the epitome of a certain year, they'd have picked a name that would have been more popular 8-10 years ago. like.. Hailey or something.
