What do we think? I don't like any of the longer names for Nellie so it would have to be just Nellie. I'm not keen on Ellie either.

....the elephant definitely springs to mind!

Nell is very nice and Eleanor is a lovely elegant name, but Nellie, no.

Have to say I LOVE the name Nell but then it is DD's name and she really suits it! We used it as a shorter version of Helen.

Nell short for Helen is nice.

Sorry I personally don't like it at all. Like others have said 'Nellie the elephant' comes to mind! And that brat from Little House on The Prairie, Nellie Olson.

Don't like it either - the drippiest, whiniest child in our post-natal group was called Nelly and it's really put me off!
