Nellie?

Opinions on Nellie for a girl?

How do you get Nell out of Helen

Love it. Prefer Nell but Nellie is lovely

I think it's a lovely name OP and would stick with it

My friend has a 2 year old Nellie. Just that. At first I was 🙄 but it's just her now and she's adorable.

Yep, nellie the elephant.
We had a girl at school with this name and she got called
Smelly nellie. Not good.

Another Nellie the Elephant here. Heaven help her in school if she has a chubby phase. Also, rhymes with smelly. I wouldn't.

It’s nearly a very very nice name. I’d go with one of the long or short suggestions in the hope the LHOTP link is defused in a decades time so Nell can use Nellie if she loves it.

It is short for helen or penny.

I know a little Nellie too. It really suits her. I Go for it if you love it.

Nope, sounds silly to me.
I like Nell for Helen though.

Love it! But I'd go for it as a nickname for a longer name

Nell is gorgeous as a freestanding name or a nickname for Helena / Elenor / Ellen /Eleonora /Antonella /Penelope etc

Nellie is very childish sounding to me.

Yes yes yes!!!! My Grandmas name. Love it.

Love Nell. You can call her Nellie for a nn.

I actually prefer it to the ubiquitous Ellie.

Really like Nel, but Nellie is an elephant. Live the idea of Nel as a nn for Penelope.

I love the name Nellie. My MIL in law is called Nellie, although her given birth name was Ellen. You could call her Ellen and her nn could be Nellie? I think it's really lovely, and I happen to know other babies/children called Nellie too.

I think it’s lovely. Zoe Ball has a Nellie.

Love it!!!

I like it, I also like Nella even more.

A friend always swore blind she would name her little girl this after a family member. Honestly she suits the name so much and is the cutest little button ever.

LOVE Nell and Nellie, but I'd use them as a nickname for Helena, Leonore/Leonora, Penelope, etc

I would go for Penelope and then can use nell or Nellie as a nn
