Hi all,

Which name do you prefer for a girl? Nelly or Eliza?
To go with older brother Noah?
Thank you ☺️

Nell is lovely but not keen on Nellie .

I'm never sure if it should be pronounced E- lee- za or El- eye-za , I've heard of both .

El-eye-za 😊

Oh god. Eliza!

Smelly Nelly. Nelly the Elephant? Just no.

I love Nelly, yiu can name her Ellen, but call her nelly like the last generation of nellys.

Eliza 100% - elegant, classic, pretty and strong.

Nelly is awful - not even a proper name, it’s a nickname.

Never Nelly. She'd get Nelly the Elephant as soon as she reaches school. Eliza wins, no contest.
