Ramona.

BertrandRussell · 12/11/2016 18:15

I would go with Helen, shortened to Nell. Gorgeous name.

QueenOfTheNaps · 12/11/2016 18:19

Élodie.... lovely

EllenDegenerate · 12/11/2016 18:23

Maeve or Fleur

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 12/11/2016 18:24

Elodie or Nell

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/11/2016 18:29

Xanthe Susannah Farrell, lovely ! 😄

BertrandRussell · 12/11/2016 18:48

Helen Susannah Farrell- known as Nell.

Frankiefarr · 12/11/2016 18:56

Oddly enough my mother wanted to call me Helen but was overuled by the family.

I suppose I think of Helen as a really common name from my youth

Less that 100 Helens a year for the past 10 years and steadily declining. Only 50 last year.

Helen Farrell. What could be better?

nooka · 12/11/2016 19:23

I don't like Nell on it's own, looks a bit abrupt. Both Eleanor and Helen Farrell would work very well. Otherwise Elodie Farrell has a nice rhythm.

TeshiB · 12/11/2016 20:04

Elodie Farrell

DramaAlpaca · 12/11/2016 20:06

All of them work with Farrell, so whatever you like best.

Frankiefarr · 12/11/2016 21:16

Thank you everyone. Can't bring myself to like Helen I'm afraid. xx

Maeve

rainbow99 · 12/11/2016 22:15

My favourites would be Nell, Fleur and Elodie in that order. What I think goes with Farrell best would be Fleur, Elodie then Nell x

Raines100 · 12/11/2016 23:00

Elodie by a mile!
Xanthe isn't my favourite name, but it goes well.
Fleur Farrell is alright.
Maeve Farrell sounds like a doddery old Irish woman.
Nell Farrell isn't great. Nell is a lovely nickname but isn't enough as a standalone name, and the two double L sounds put me off further. Eleanor?

CakeRattleandRoll · 13/11/2016 06:08

Xanthe

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 13/11/2016 07:17

Fleur Susannah Farrell is just gorgeous.

elodiefarrell0215 · 21/02/2017 18:18

THANKYOU TO YOU ALL, My name's Elodie Farrell 👌🏻👌🏻 But my middle name's Rebecca 😞

KlingybunFistelvase · 21/02/2017 18:21

Eleanor / Helen with nn Nell would be lovely. Also think Elodie Farrell and Xanthe Farrell sound nice.

CocoPorridge · 21/02/2017 18:32

Xanthe Farrell

MrsCaecilius · 21/02/2017 18:32

Elodie, definitely, flows much better than the rest.

Swearwolf · 21/02/2017 18:38

I like elodie too. I don't think Maeve flows well - it just sounds like Mae farrell to me as the v and the f kind of blend in to each other.

If you wanted Nell to be short for something, what about penelope? It's very elegant and has a similar feel to elodie... (I also agree that Helen is a name for people in their 30s!)

Ellen is shortened to Nell IME, not sure why though!
