[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is one of my favorite names! Itā€™s sweet and strong, simple but full of personality, and familiar but a little bit surprising. [name_f]Elara[/name_f] is really pretty tooā€“it feels almost a bit ethereal to meā€“but [name_f]Nell[/name_f] definitely gets my vote!

[name_f]Elara[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] but not a fan on its own.

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] 100%! Itā€™s sweet, stylish and a perfect little package.

[name_f]Elara[/name_f] doesnā€™t do much for me. There are a lot of similar sounding vowelly names in popular use at the moment, I much prefer the distinctiveness and compactness of [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

[name_f]Elara[/name_f]- itā€™s okay, I kind of think of music when I hear the name

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] feels calm and warm! I like it :heart:

Elaraā€™s slightly mysterious feel is appealing, too.

[name_f]Nell[/name_f]!
I donā€™t mind [name_f]Elara[/name_f] though, just feel like it would blend in and get confused with so many similar names

Iā€™ve never heard [name_f]Elara[/name_f] before! It looks pretty, but I think it might be confusing for people to spell. [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is classic and sweet.

Personally not a massive fan of either these two.

For me I donā€™t like [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a full name. I do however love [name_f]Nella[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Arianell[/name_f], [name_f]Petronella[/name_f] and Perenelle, or [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a shortening for [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] or [name_f]Helena[/name_f]. For me my first association of [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (Eleanor) [name_u]Gwyn[/name_u] (actress and main mistress of [name_m]Charles[/name_m] II of GB) so my first association is of infidelity (sorry). But [name_f]Nell[/name_f] also gives me Welsh cottage vibes, and makes me think of cats. I think I had a book about a cat called [name_f]Nell[/name_f] when I was younger.

[name_f]Elara[/name_f] - I have become more used to the name Elara/Alara in the Turkish communities I work with, but Iā€™m not a big fan of names with that ā€˜arā€™ sound - [name_f]Mara[/name_f], [name_f]Lara[/name_f], [name_f]Lana[/name_f] etc. I just donā€™t like the sound, but I think thatā€™s partly because I associate it with a ā€˜mean girl groupā€™ in school vibe. :grimacing:

Overall I prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. If you love them theyā€™re both great for you, just not for me :slight_smile:
