mailmerge with conditional fields

I have a user that would like to have his email templates refer to a contact by their Nickname-unless that field is blank.  In which case, refer to them as the Contact First Name.  I've tried this format, but it's not working...

{!if(Contact.Nickname_Alias__c ="", Contact.FirstName,) Contact.Nickname_Alias__c }

{!if(Contact.Nickname_Alias__c = "", Contact.FirstName, Contact.Nickname_Alias__c )}
