Cute nickname; I knew a Nelina.

Love it. Though I do know a lot of dogs called nellGrin

Good, strong name Smile

Nearly used for my DD but was pipped at the post by a long name you can make lots of NN from.

I strongly recommend as although I don't regret the name I chose I do like Nell just as much. Go for it!

I really like Nell

Northernexile · 15/12/2012 06:22

I like it. Think you need a surname with at least a couple of syllables though for it to work, not, say Smith...

I would think its a nickname and your DD is called Helen, Helena or Eleanor (all of which are pretty names), and I think Nell is a great NN

I really considered Nell for my daughter - only put off by knowing a dog called that too! Sorry. I love it though. I went for Nancy - still love it!

Lovely. I know one little girl who spells it Nelle as well.

Both the pregnant people in Neighbours have been fighting over the name Nell. So, popular in Ramsay Street if that helps at all!

My cousin's nicknamed this by her parents (and by nobody else). Her name's Eleanor.
