That's it really, just after general consenses on the name Nelly/Nellie thinking Nelle quite nice as nn?!

So that's why I thought of elephants whereyou - that bloody song! God I'd forgotten all about it.

I love Nellie and Nell
I had a Dutch pal called Petronella who was a Nell...very exotic!

Nellie the elephant
Packed her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus.
Off she trumped
With a trumpety trump,
Trump, trump, trump.

You really want your daughter to be treated to that song every time she enters a room? Maybe not from the off, but I can guarantee during he teenaged years she would grow to HATE her name.

Nope, Not on your Nelly.

See? Too many references to the name in popular culture.

I like Nell, but not Nellie/Nelly.

My granny (born 1902) was a Nellie, it was a nickname for Helen.

I know a fabulous Nellie - short for Fenella. Love it.

Nell is beautiful and I think it will age well and then use Nelly as a nn if you want.

Oh I don't like. Reminds me of elephants, can't quite put my finger on why.
I do like elephants but not when linked to baby names...
