What can Nell be short for..? Be imaginative!! :)

[typsical]

I know of:

Eleanor/Elinor
Ellen
Helena
Helen
Cornelia
Penelope
Nellwyn/Nella/Nelly

Are there any more...?!

Fenella
Jenelle
Jonelle

Meant to add, which would you choose?! Thank :)

My Nell is just.... Nell,I love it (obviously )

pimprenelle (old french name or just a cartoon character )

I love just Nell! :) But DH isn't keen, so I'm trying to find a name he likes, but that I can shorten to Nell! x

I know an Eleanor who is a Nell. Wiki also suggests:
Cornelia
Danielle
Ellen (given name)
Helen (given name)
Janelle
Nelly (given name)

I'd choose Eleanor with nell for nn as i think its lovely and classic.
I can't add to your list though so i'm maybe not that helpful.....

Leonora? Leonie? Neela? Lorena?

Elizabeth (as in Ned from Edward - mine Edward/mine Elizabeth).

Petronella?

My daughter is nn Nell, her full name is Eleonora.

Anneliese (or a variant thereof)
Antonella
Marianella or

Helena? I agree though it is so lovely it stands alone

I work with a Nell who is Elen

My great grandmother's name was Ellen Elizabeth. She named her daughter, my grandmother Nelly Bessie! Ellen Elizabeth is imho opinion lovely. But my grandmother hated Nelly Bessie!

Wellenellenellener

My Nell(ie) is Eliana

Love Nelly and Nella but afraid Nelly might attract silly elephant references. Anyone agree?
Like Penelope too and is the only way I can sneak nn Nell past partner! Do we think she would definitely get Penny at some stage because we really don't want Penny as nn

Ornella. It's an Italian name.

I know a Nanerl (pronounced Nanelle).

Anelia

Narelle

Please not Narelle. It is a "Sharon and Tracey" name in Australia. Like Chantelle.

I think you could get away with Penelope - Nell, but your work could be undone as soon as she gets to school because even teachers will probably call her Penny or Pen. I put up with nicknames I did not really like all the way through school. It goes with the territory of having a longish name.

I love Eleanor - Nell, for what it is worth.

Don't think it's been mentioned, but Elena is another one, either pronounced Ell-ena (accent on 1st syllabul) or El-lay-na (accent on 2nd syllable).

My daughter has one of the names in your original list OP and I love Nell, but DH really doesn't like, so I doubt she she will ever have it as a nn.

His grandmother was known as Nelly and I think he just sees it as too old lady.

His cousin was going to call their DD Nelly (after her), but in the end they decided that if she did end up carrying a little extra weight, the elephant references might be too hard to resist by other children.
