Opinions on Nellie for a girl?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Little House on the Prairie for me Im afraid.

Rungirl42 · 12/09/2018 19:52

Cute but ngl reminds me of nelly the elephant x

SoftBlocks · 12/09/2018 19:56

No.

SlimGin · 12/09/2018 19:57

I really like it OP!

Lostandfound81 · 12/09/2018 19:58

No. So many reasons why, but mainly it’s just an ugly name

I’m sorry

butlerswharf · 12/09/2018 19:59

Billie Faiers' daughter. That's the only reference I have.

trulybadlydeeply · 12/09/2018 20:00

Why not use Antonella, with Nellie as a nn?

Disfordarkchocolate · 12/09/2018 20:06

It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie but I don't think that is a very current reference. I like it but prefer Nell.

Itchytights · 12/09/2018 20:07

I like Nel but not Nellie.

ohdeardeardear · 12/09/2018 20:07

The elephant. I know a baby called it though and she's very cute and suits her.

BabloHoney · 12/09/2018 20:08

It’s cute, personally I would use as a nick name for Eleanor so she has the option of a longer name when she’s older

Bobbybobbins · 12/09/2018 20:14

Cute but more of a nickname. Good idea to use Elinor/Eleanor or another choice as full name?

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 12/09/2018 20:28

Nope, not on your...

DramaAlpaca · 12/09/2018 20:30

To me it's a very ugly name.

Singlenotsingle · 12/09/2018 20:30

Nellie the Elephant! Ugly name.

ConsiderHerWaysAndOthers · 12/09/2018 20:30

Nelly the Elephant here too. Or that ‘rapper’ popular in the early 00s. It’s a no from me.

MikeUniformMike · 12/09/2018 20:32

Nell is nice but Nellie the elephant

pickleface · 12/09/2018 20:33

Gorgeous!

explodingkitten · 12/09/2018 20:36

Nellie the elephant. Sorry.

Topseyt · 12/09/2018 20:45

No. Sorry. Ugly name. Quite apart from Nelly the Elephant, who packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 12/09/2018 20:57

Nell is better.

SmallestInTheClass · 12/09/2018 21:01

Nell is lovely. I'd only have Nellie as a nickname, its pretty but does make me think of Nellie the Elephant.

BusyBee27 · 12/09/2018 21:01

Isn’t Nell short for Helen? Could you use that as a full name and Nellie as a nickname? Smile
