Help[Opinions] Re: Nell and Nella
in reply to a message by Millie
1) I like the sound of Nell better, but would never spell it that way. I would spell it Nelle. I have known a Nelle in my life and thought her name was amazing. Her surname was the name of a fruit (straight noun-name). It is probably the coolest name combo I have ever come across.
I would use Nelle IRL myself.
Nella is lovely, but I guess I just don't like it comparatively (with Nelle). I would go for Della though. THAT is a cool name.
2) I wouldn't assume it was short for anything spelled Nelle or Nella, but spelled Nell I might wonder if she was a Penelope or a Janelle or something.
3) If I met a Nella or Nell, I would LIKE their full name to be Nella or Nell. I do like Penelope (my niece is named this), but prefer Penny to Nellie / Nella / or Nell on that.
If I HAD to choose a longer name, I would say that Prunella is pretty awesome and Nella would be a sweet nickname for it. I actually would be more excited to meet a Prunella than a Nella tbh.
