I know a Nell who is just Nell too. No shortening of anything.

My middle name is Ellen and I was named after my great gran- she was always always Nel! So I'd say Ellen

I know someone who was christened Nelly so Nell could be short for that Grin

FTR-I don't particularly like these. I'm just trying to show that you can pretty much make anything fit!

My sister is "just" Nell.

She has always said, if she had to pick a longer form that could be shortened to Nell, it would Nephele (neh-FELL-ee), a name from Greek mythology.

Depends on how "out there" you want to go I guess!

Elena? Helena?

I knew a Nell who was just Nell, and it was a name I nearly used for dd1. I'd just use Nell.
