[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!
I currently have a 3 year old son [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] and we are hoping to another child next year (going through IVF).
We have a boy name picked out, but I’m really struggling with a girl.
We both like the name [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] (husbands grandmothers name) but I’m just not sure it sounds well with [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] (Cal).
I’d love outsiders opinions.
Thank you
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] works to me. You could do [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn Nell/Nellie?
Some ideas for a sibling…
[name_u]Callahan[/name_u] and…
[name_f]Zelie[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u]
It sounds great! What a beautiful set!
Maybe [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but call her [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is just beautiful! I think it sounds lovely with [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u].
As others have suggested, [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is lovely as well. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] would also be beautiful!
Some other ideas (with nickname ideas as well) that I have are…
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] nn [name_f]Florrie[/name_f], [name_f]Lo[/name_f], [name_f]Flossie[/name_f], [name_f]Flo[/name_f], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], or [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] nn Flissy, City, [name_f]Flick[/name_f], [name_f]Lissy[/name_f], or Fliss
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Laidey[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f], or [name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] or [name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] nn [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] or [name_f]Harrie[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Bee[/name_f], or [name_f]Bebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], or [name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] nn [name_u]Billie[/name_u], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], or [name_f]Mina[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], or [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lissy[/name_f]
[name_u]Louise[/name_u] nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u], [name_f]Loulou[/name_f], or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
Most of these nicknames would also work great as standalone names, too! Best luck with your naming!!
I like [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] but i feel its very nicknamey next to [name_u]Callahan[/name_u]
Perhaps [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Annelise[/name_f] nn: [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_u]Or[/name_u] even maybe [name_f]Nella[/name_f]?
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] itself doesn’t work with [name_u]Callahan[/name_u]. As a NN it’s ok.
I love the preplanning ! We are in a similar boat !! I find girls names harder than boys names … I could name 10 sons no problem, but we do not agree on girls names at all !
I think [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] and [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] ( Cal) are a stunning set! I also love that they would share the LL in the middle of their names. It’s a subtle tie that makes them matchy without being overly matchy
If you aren’t completely sold maybe you would like
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f]
[name_f]Chanel[/name_f]
[name_f]Janelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonella[/name_f]
[name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Renelle[/name_f]

There are lots of name that go with the nickname Nellie/Nelly. The most common name is Penelope nn Nellie.
Number 5
I second [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]! You could also use [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], [name_f]Antonella[/name_f], [name_u]Connelly[/name_u], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f].
[name_f]Anniston[/name_f]
[name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]
[name_f]Demetria[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f]
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u]

[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u]
[name_f]Thomasin[/name_f]
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] and [name_u]Cal[/name_u] are so cute together!
If you wanted a longer name for [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_u]Callahan[/name_u] also sound good together. But I think [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is great on it’s on and so cute with Callhans name.
