Nay. Though I do find properly-spelled Nikolai to be a refreshing alternative to overused Nicholas ... especially if it is reflective of the family's heritage! ;)
I've just honestly never seen the "Nicolai" spelling, and have no clue what culture that would be inherent to. It seems a bit of a mishmash of Russian Nikolai and Romanian Nicolae/Neculai, to be honest.
So to be clear, it's just the seemingly-created spelling I don't personally care for. Nikolai itself is a wonderful name! ;)

I like it. Nick is a good name for a nickname (no pun intended) :).

I prefer Nicholas.

I love it, but I do think that Nicholas is probably a safer bet.

nay, it's a pain when noone ever knows how to pronounce or spell your name.
