Nell?

First impressions of Nell?

We have a Helena nn Nell or Nelly and love it. Always gets nice comments.

That's my new baby's name - love it!!

Love it very cute x

There was a Bell at my school a few years back, she was a lovely girl, with a lovely name to boot!

I like it as as a nickname for Helen or Eleanor.

I like it but feel like it should be short for Nella or Nellie

Love it but vetoed by DH.

Love it, but agree that it would be nice to have as a nickname for Eleanor

Love it as a nickname

I like it

My son is Rànell and he's called Nell for short. Some people can't pronounce his name though we've had ranell like flannel, or Randal it's a french name pronounced Rah Nell

Ok but only if short for Eleanor/Helena/Helen etc

Also makes me think of ‘death knell’

Love it. I know a Nell - she’s cool.

Fine as a stand alone name imo - and I’m not someone who likes diminutives as first names.

Much prefer Nell to Helena or Eleanor.

Lovely

Nell - really lovely
Nelly/Nellie - awful & inevitable unfortunately, so it would put me off Nell

I like it, and I quite like Nellie as well. But they both feel incomplete to me, like they should be short for something.

LOVE it. Nelly when a baby.

One of my absolute favourites I love it so much!

Now see, I hate Nellie! Do you really think it’s inevitable?

Love love Nell, I’ve known a stand-alone nell and a Penelope with nn nell
