What is Nell short for?

[peacelily]

think it's a pretty name,just curious.

I love it too. Eleanor maybe?

Helena. Fenella. Eleanor. Ellen.

Can be short for Helena.

Like helena, eleanor and fenella

I have an Eliana and she is more often refered to as Nelli than Elli

Eleanor I think Friends have an Eleanor and she's called Nell.

I always thought Eleanor

I had a great aunty Nellie, her name was Ellen

Any of the Helen / Eleanor varieties

yep, definitely Helen, IMO.

Penelope, too.
