Life in Nickerie is heavily influenced by neighbouring (British) Guyana.
This is obvious in different areas; architecture, language, names, music, sports (For a long time Nickerie has had the only cricket league in Suriname).
Some examples of names which were "imported" via Guyana are: Bourne, Coats, Craig, Crawford, Critchlow, Griffith, Hollingsworth, and Romeo.

Example of Guyanese influence; according to the Oxford Dictionary the phrase is:
"Every smile is not a smile of happiness"
