Is Nick really a good name?
Since it has the meaning of jail, stealing and cheating, why are there still people named with this word? The only glory of this name is that it's one of those nicknames of Nicholas? I picked this name 4 years ago. My English was very bad at that time. And I was encountering some trauma, so that I feel resonance on this word.

Native speakers who meet a person called Nick would not really think about that meaning. The slang term 'nick' is not even used a lot in N. America, in my experience.

I hope native speakers won't guess it that I'm a thief wanna-be...

We Brits simply think of 'Nick' as a name when it is used as a name..
Many names are words that can mean other things, but these meanings do not spring to mind when we hear the names.
Bob, Rob, Rick, , Harry, Bill, Will, Jack, Frank are just a few of these names.
ps. The forum's censor insisted on blanking out the common British short form of Richard
