Nicodemus deals a heavy blow if used--it is unapologetically biblical, and quite a mouthful at that. But Biblical names have always been in style, and the more unique revivals--Azrael, Sapphira, Ezra, Moses--are garnering a lot of attention. Nicodemus has the benefit of sounding similar to friendly Nicholas, and sharing common nicknames, which may help it go down easier. A word of advice--if you are going to be particular, choose the nickname you prefer before the baby is born, because people WILL want to shorten it.
