Nell

[Choc88]

Just Nell, not a longer name on bc like Eleanor or Helena.
Do I go for it ? I'm days away now from due date.

I love it as a shortening of a more traditional name.

Love it. Just Nell.

Love it just as it is.

It's my younger sister's name and she is Nell on her bc.

Likewise I am Tess on my bc, not short for anything.

If it's what you love, then go for it.

Beautiful name, simple and classic - go for it.

Love. I would do it.

It's gorgeous. Use it.

I know a little Nell it's just Nell and I think its so so nice - go for it :)

Love it

With the benefit of hindsight, I would have chosen Eleanor, nn. Nell, for dd1. I love Nell

Yes, if you love Nell as the full name, go for it. It's beautiful

Go for it! We are (Nell is our name for dc4 if this bump turns out to be pink). Having a "known as" name that was different from the name on my birth cert caused me so many problems that I changed it by deed poll before my wedding just so that I could be married as the name I'd always been called, rather than have a starnger's name read out. So I go for using the name we'll call the child).

Thanks all. Can't wait for my little Nell to arrive! X

Just Nell is nice.

I love it, DH won't agree to it

Gorgeous.

Love it just as it is. Was on the list for DS, who turned out to be a Ned - we had similar debates about whether to give him a longer name and decided against it. You do get a few older people saying 'oooh, is that short for Edward or Edmund?' but they are few and far between.

Enjoy meeting little Nell!

I know I am bucking the trend here but it's a name that I actively dislike and it is a shortening for my own name. My advice- give her a longer name and use Nell as a nn but at least then she has other options if, like me she grows up to hate it. Congratulations!

Just to let you all know my beautiful Nell Florence arrived yesterday. Thanks for all your comments. She really suits her name Nell xxxx

Absolutely stunning! Love Nell with the middle name Florence!

I like it only as a shortening or middle name...

Ahh congratulations! Hope you are ok and you are enjoying getting to know baby Nell.
