Hi! I have a ( nearly ) 2 year old daughter called Eleni, who has always been known as Leni and Len.
As much as those are her names and I love them, I really want to start calling her Nell or Nellie as a nickname.
Do you think this is unfair on her to have too many names , or does it seem weird if everyone else calls her Leni and Len and her mum calls her Nellie and Nell ( basically her original.nicknwmes backwards 😂)

I just love the name and think it suits her, and it is a nickname of her name anyway.....
Thanks

What would be the point? Confusing for the child and everyone else.

Nellie is what my mother used to call my vulva.

Please don't confuse her by adding another name!! 3 are enough.

Elena is lovely! I wouldn't shorten at all.

Sorry Eleni
