Longer name for Nell?

We’re expecting baby number four soon and have been discussing names. One girls name that I really love is [name_f]Nell[/name_f], but my husband isn’t so sure on it being used as a first name. He would like to use a longer name and then use [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a NN.

Only problem is I’m not a fan of the longer names for [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (Penelope, [name_f]Helena[/name_f] etc). I don’t mind [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but I don’t love it. I was wondering if there are any other names that we could potentially use the NN [name_f]Nell[/name_f] for? Nothing too crazy. I really love classic, traditional sounding names.

Thank you!

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] / [name_f]Helene[/name_f]
[name_f]Annelore[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneli[/name_f] / [name_f]Annelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f]
[name_f]Elenoa[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f] / [name_f]Lenora[/name_f]
[name_f]Annella[/name_f]
