[name_f]Nell[/name_f] - it looks tidy, concise and I don’t think it would lead to any mispronunciations or misspellings

Much prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f], less likely to be confused with [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], and is smoother.

I like both, but voted for the usual, [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. I do get the appeal of [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] though - it looks fuller for a name on its own rather than a short form. And [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] has the appeal of the unexpected.

I actually prefer [name_f]Nelle[/name_f]. It just looks more…complete, to me. I’ve always found [name_f]Nell[/name_f] kind of abrupt myself, but I don’t mind [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] as much.

Our daughter is [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] and we think it is pretty and unique. Everyone comments on how lovely her name is. We also love that her name is [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] in reverse!
