Oddly enough, both substances take their names from 18th century German words meaning "demon", or "goblin".
In the case of nickel, it was derived from the word Kupfernickel ("copper demon"), which was a name miners gave to a copper-colored ore of nickel, supposedly because, although copper-colored, the ore didn't actually yield any copper.
"Cobalt" comes from Kobold ("household goblin"), again, a name miners gave to an ore (of silver, cobalt, arsenic, and sulfur, allegedly because out-gassing of arsenic and sulfur from the ore made the miners sick.
