I LOVE Nell. But I don't love any of the typical long versions Eleanor, Prunella, Antonella, Helen, Helena, Ellen, Penelope
Can you think of any other longer versions?
Or just go with Nell?

Danielle, Elowen, Petronella

Sorry, I see Danielle and Elowen have already been suggested.
I agree with many that Nell is a nice name as it is.

Love Nell and think it could be a full name, however my preference would be as a shortening for Ellen, Elena or the Welsh name Eluned.

Or a name beginning with N with Elle as the middle name? Eg Nancy Elle.

Has anyone suggested Nigella nn Nell?

Nelly or Nellie for a nickname ? And is Elizabeth a long form version?

Edited

Not sure how you would get Nelly from Elizabeth?

My niece is a Nel on its own! It really suits her.

Do people ever comment? Nell or Nel?
