Help[Opinions] Re: Nell and Nella
in reply to a message by Millie
Nella reminds me of Nutella when I see it written and Nilla, like Nilla wafers, when said aloud.
1. I'm not really digging Nella, but I'm having trouble articulating why, probably because my reasons are so nebulous, plus the above associations. I'd rather see it as a nickname though. Nell is solid enough, but I don't know that I would use it as a full name either, because there isn't much to it. I tend to like names, especially female names, with lots of options. Also, Nell sounds like knell, which used to keep me from liking it at all. Now, I do like it as a nickname.
2. Eleanor / Elinor / Eleanora or Penelope
3. Eleanor / Elinor or Penelope
-----------------------------------------
Current favorites:
Ephraim / Tristram / Nathaniel / Callum
Cordelia / Winifred / Edith / Theodora
