Love it. You can't go wrong with a classic name IMO.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 06/11/2016 09:28

I don't like Ell a NOR but I do like Ella nah.

Lovely in its entirety only. Definitely no nn, no more Ellie's or Ella's needed in the world.

Lovely !

I wanted that for dd, but then my BIL called his son Johann a year earlier, grrr

dailymaillazyjournos · 06/11/2016 01:57

Really lovely. Adaptable, pretty, classic but not boring and suits all ages.

ThePurplePrincess · 06/11/2016 01:08

Lovely but prefer Elena

Bananice · 06/11/2016 01:07

I have one so love it Smile. We call her Nell most of the time

Chinlo · 06/11/2016 00:47

I'm a fan

GiddyOnZackHunt · 06/11/2016 00:44

I've liked it since I met one 41 years ago :)

Sunnydawn · 06/11/2016 00:30

Love it.

jaggythistle · 06/11/2016 00:30

I know a lovely one and I think she always just goes by Eleanor, not Ellie etc. :)

JunebabyT · 06/11/2016 00:27

Very nice classic name. Would consider it if I didn't have a colleague by the name!

Buntysoven · 06/11/2016 00:16

Sorry I really find it clunky. Love Nell though.

Sophronia · 05/11/2016 23:02

It's lovely

Ellypoo · 05/11/2016 22:53

Nellie/Nell is a nice nn for Eleanor, or El. Personally I think it's an excellent choice. Wink it's a classic, beautiful name imho!

llangennith · 05/11/2016 22:48

One of my favourite names.

rainbow99 · 05/11/2016 22:48

Love it 😁

maisybobbins · 05/11/2016 22:35

Lovely name. And so many ways you/she could go by. Lennie would be my choice.

Floggingmolly · 05/11/2016 22:28

Love it.

SpeckledyBanana · 05/11/2016 22:26

Lovely name. Not Ellie or Ella though.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 05/11/2016 22:22

It's nice but every other baby girl is currently called Eleanor or Ellie.

The others are called Amelia.
