We have named our beautiful baby girl Bailey. It was a rushed decision that we decided on before our son Noah turned up to met her (we wanted to have a name before he met her - in hindsight we should’ve waited until we were home). I’m going through a bit of name regret! I like Bailey but I don’t love it - it looks quite boyish to me now when I see it written. I would like to another N name to go with Noah and have come across Nelle! I absolutely love it and think it is feminine and works well with Noah and love that it’s not very common and that she would probably go through school being the only Nelle (pronounced Nell btw)

Of course we would have to go through the awkward stage of changing her name and telling everyone - she is only one month old thankfully but I know it would be weird having to tell people we changed her name!!

Do you think we should keep Bailey or change to Nelle?

Harper Lee’s first name was Nelle, spelled this way.

I'm biased because I have a Nell, I love it!
