Nell, Betsy or Daisy

[Choc88]

Hi

Which is your favourite out of the 3 ?

This is my first post on here & I'm due in 10 days with my first baby girl.

I'm really stuck on which name. Loved Nell all the way through my pregnancy but is it too short a name ? & I'm not keen on Nellie.

Betsy is cute too & Daisy seems like a nice but safe option & there are quite a few near where I live.

Please help !!

I think there's quite a high chance she'll get called Nellie by some people. I personally think Nellie is quite nice as a diminutive.
Go for what you love, I think deep down you want to use Nell

Not really diminutive, as it's longer but you know what I mean!

Nellwyn is an old English name meaning bright friend apparently, which is nice

I think it's a dead cert she will be called Nellie tbh.
Also the unfortunate rhyme.

Betsy and Daisy are lovely, so is Patsy.

Despite the rhyme, I really like Nellie.

Nell is also short for Ellen if you wanted a longer name too.

I prefer Nell, then Betsy, then Daisy! I like all 3, Nell probably less common, esp compared to Daisy.

Choc88 - my sister has never been known as Nellie.

The odd person might have called her Nellie once, but would have soon been corrected.

I know several Nells, and they are all short for Eleanor, which is an awesome name in itself. One was known as Nelly when she was a younger, but has graduated to Nell in her twenties!

My gran was a Nellie, so we are planning on incorporating it in our baby's name if we have a girl.

I don't think people will call her Nellie. Maybe as a one off, affectionate thing but not generally. I have known one Nell (not short for anything) and she was never Nellie. We're using Nell, on its own, as it is, because it's lovely :-)

Nell (though I get the poster who said they thought of 'knell')

Betsy and Daisy are both a bit twee. And I know loads of Daisies. I know a couple of Betties too, and I think Betty avoids the tweeness of Betsy.

Daisy is gorgeous

Betsy Nell. In fact all three names are nice.
