Which name for baby girl sounds better? Which do you like more?

Nina

there's something not right about Nell. Nellie. The Elephant. Not on your...

smother · 13/04/2011 10:29

I like Nina and Nell.... What about Nola? I love it!

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 13/04/2011 01:01

Nina.

Nell will get Death Nell. Or fuckin'nell.

Umnitsa · 13/04/2011 00:54

Definitely Nina - classical, elegant name.

Takver · 12/04/2011 21:35

Nell, absolutely, especially as a nn for Eleanor.

Nina - ok but a bit 80s to my mind.

MamaVoo · 12/04/2011 21:15

Nina. I can't imagine how Nell could be considered pretty.

Jojay · 12/04/2011 20:52

Nina - much nicer than Nell, which is a bit flash in the pan trendy for me.

IMHO of course

MelinaM · 12/04/2011 20:50

Nell Lovely, lovely name. x

Beamur · 12/04/2011 20:43

I like them both, but would choose Nell.

randomimposter · 12/04/2011 20:41

Nina is a bit naff IMO.
LOVE Nell as a NN for Eleanor/Helena.

youbethemummylion · 12/04/2011 19:22

not overly keen on either but do not like Nina at all, though I have no reason why!

yousankmybattleship · 12/04/2011 19:14

I like them both, but would plump for Nell myself. Lovely.

virginiasmonalogue · 12/04/2011 19:13

I have a Nell so naturally LOVE the name . It is a really cheeky name to me as my nell is so funny and cheeky!

Nina was also on shortlist for DD!

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 12/04/2011 17:57

Nina is very pretty.

Finessa · 12/04/2011 17:55

I knew a Nina and always thought what a beautiful and timeless name it was.

Nell for me is a very, very old lady's name - one of my great aunts.

LetThereBeRock · 12/04/2011 17:47

Nina.Nell is hideous,and very Catherine Cookson.

pilates · 12/04/2011 17:34

I prefer Nell, do not like Nina at all

stillbroody · 12/04/2011 17:20

I prefer Nina

Emelene · 12/04/2011 17:16

I like Nell best. A nice take on all the Ellie / Ella / Elle names out there.

burntsienna · 12/04/2011 17:16

Death (K)Nell. :(

The fire engine has to be better, at least there's a chance :)

BobbiDazzler · 12/04/2011 17:15

Both lovely. but prefer Nina.

SolarPanel · 12/04/2011 17:13

Nina is lovely, very pretty.

Nell reminds me of Nelly the elephant.

iskra · 12/04/2011 15:59

I love Nina.

Nell is okay but doesn't really feel like a full name to me.

jojodancer · 12/04/2011 15:58

Nell, no question

SingingSands · 12/04/2011 15:54

Combine them both and make Nella!
