I'm bored... so... Niko is Male or Female?

[Невс]

I see everyone saying two diferent things, but I will assume that Niko is what you want.
*for me is a boy*

you can have your opinions, but ik someone who had a baby son named Niko (I actully don't know the spelling, but that's the pronunciation), So he's male to me.

This really doesn't prove anything... The way you talk is like our opinions were wrong. In this case, none really are wrong since you get to decide that for yourself. If you met a girl named Niko, would you suddenly change your mind? Your decision is yours to make, it's fine. :P

How am I talking like other people's opinions are wrong? I said "You can have your opinions" and "he's male to me." I was stressing the fact that this is my opinion, because Niko has no canonicly revealed gender.

ehh.. ,,Niko" is shorted version of ,,Nikolas" and that's Finnish name. ,,Samantha" is not male name lol -.-

"Pronunciation of Niko [niko] as a name for girls (also used more commonly as boys' name Niko) is of Greek derivation, and the name Niko means "people of victory". Niko is an alternate form of Nicole (Greek): from Nikola."

in the same way as ,,Nikolas" so it dosn't matter. btw dn't care what that name means, bt thx.

I personally see Niko as a boy, as I know someone in real life named Niko, and he is a boy. Though I can see how Niko could be a girl, looking at their dialogue in game, their appearance and their... Nikoness.

What I meant was merely the way you sounded. Like "you can think what you want but what I think is better" or something. That's all, lol. I was just saying that your perspective is fine...

Well... good for you. Lot of things in life don't matter. It still mentions that Niko is a possible alternate form of "Nicole" which also means that Niko is not only a short of a male name. Lastly, you said name is finnish but it is a name of greek nature according to internet. Just saying...

Let's not be so dramatic. There is no war going on. It's a standard looking discussion to me.

Since we like to be random. A well known anime character (female) is also named Nico...

Never heard of her. But now that I think about it, I only watch One Piece and One Punch Man, so of course I don't. :P

Wait, what were we talking about again?

Ursprünglich geschrieben von Niko is Eating Pancakes:

Nothing special. The usual... Is Niko a male or a female? Does the name Niko work for both? Who is Niko (in the game) based on? Where does the name Niko come from? It's like we're studying the very meaning of the name but otherwise, it's just a list of "Niko is <gender> for me".

ok ok... Uh, one by one.

1. They don't have a confirmed gender.
2. Yes, it can be short for both male and female names
3. I think they're based off of the dev's deceased cat, which is where they got their feline design
4. In another language, Niko (or Neko) means "Cat." Japanese, I think.

Aight', there's all your awnsers.

[Seraphita]

Well, I wasn't asking them myself. XD. I was just saying what the "topics" were in this thread. It's already confirmed that Niko is ambiguous on purpose, as I and some others already explained.

The name is also confirmed by me (and maybe someone else) that it can be used for both. Who the character is based on was posted by someone else above: http://nightmargin.tumblr.com/post/115543970046/what-does-nikola-tesla-have-to-do-with-oneshot-is/amp

Lastly, yeah. Maybe Niko really is a play on the word neko, maybe not. I am not sure about it for certain but Niko IS a neko sooo I guess? If not, it's still a "brilliant" idea. (See what I did there).

When you say that Neko mean cat in Japanese. Niko could be turn out to be a Nekomata.

it's a posibility that's what Niko is based on, but I doubt they are one. Nekomata have a much stronger resembelence to cats, seeing as their entire face takes more of a feline look, with the face extending at the nose. Here's a picture of one[upload.wikimedia.org]. Niko has more of a human face with cat eyes and a cat mouth.
