Hi! I have a ( nearly ) 2 year old daughter called Eleni, who has always been known as Leni and Len.
As much as those are her names and I love them, I really want to start calling her Nell or Nellie as a nickname.
Do you think this is unfair on her to have too many names , or does it seem weird if everyone else calls her Leni and Len and her mum calls her Nellie and Nell ( basically her original.nicknwmes backwards 😂)

I just love the name and think it suits her, and it is a nickname of her name anyway.....
Thanks

I really like the name Nellie but it just immediately follows on with ‘the elephant’

I’d assume she was Eleanor or Helena

I call my kids lots of random things but I know of a baby Nellie and I really feel for her. Her surname is unusual too

The elephant?

Len and Leni are so lovely! So is Nellie. Call her what you like, I call my son loads of different names! x
