Hi

Which is your favourite out of the 3 ?

This is my first post on here & I'm due in 10 days with my first baby girl.

I'm really stuck on which name. Loved Nell all the way through my pregnancy but is it too short a name ? & I'm not keen on Nellie.

Betsy is cute too & Daisy seems like a nice but safe option & there are quite a few near where I live.

Please help !!

Nell. I can imagine a child or a woman called Nell.

I imagine Betsy and Daisy to look these girls.

Nell, Betsy or Daisy

I would call her Eleanor, then she has the choice of;
Nell,
Ellie,
or Eleanor

Nell is short for Helen if that helps in any way. I love it but our family already had a Helen.

Daisy was my Grannie - I love it.

I think Nell is the best as a whole name (elegant on an adult and cute on a child) but if I were choosing between Helena, Elizabeth and Marguerite to be known as ... then I'd struggle!

Daisy every time

Nell definatly. I know one who is just Nell, not short for anything and never really gets called Nellie .

Gileswithachainsaw · 24/06/2014 15:41

Daisy definately.

Nell is an old lady name

Really not keen on betsy either

But daisy is really pretty

Nothing wrong with having a short name.
