okay, a lot of people do the same mistakes whenever staring TVD, TO or pretty soon Legacies fics, they get a bunch of names wrong
the most common? Klaus.
now, lets get everything on the table; Niklaus is his birth name, his parents call him that, Mikael calls him Klaus as a torment because Klaus shortened his name so that he could feel as though he had control over something, and most likely wanted to escape how weak he felt whenever he answered to the name of Niklaus. It's kind of like developing an alter ego, Klaus is his version of Batman I guess. (this is my own evaluation by the way, not off some tvd wikia or anything)
As for Nik, the only people that call him so are Rebekah and Kol, respectively.
