1. Nell
2. I only like it as a nn (despite Ms. Nelle Harper Lee :b)
3. Eleanor Camille just entered my mind, nn Nell. Or Penelope Augusta nn Nell.
4. Something else long and old-fashioned with a short nn (or if using it as a fn, then another short, nickname-y fn)

Vic Reeves doesn't seem to think so, he called one of his twin daughters Nell (the other is Elizabeth BTW). That aside, I don't think it is too nicknamey.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I am not very found of this as a fn. I think I prefer the "e" on the end.
I think Nelle would be cute as nn for Penelope.

I like Nell as a NN for Penelope. Something like Tess or other simple, traditional names would probably pair well for siblings.

I like Nell better. I don't think it's too nicknamey, but I'd personally prefer to use it used as a nn for Elinor.

I like the Nell spelling 100% more than nelle. The extra "e" makes it look like you're trying really hard to make it a full name. I do find it too nicknamey for a full name, but there's nothing wrong with Eleanor. It's a beautiful name.

I like Nelle it looks more feminine.
I don't think it is too 'nicknamey' but personally I wouldn't use it.
