I like [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] almost equally, but dislike [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] - why not [name_f]Nella[/name_f], if you want something more unusual.

3

I like [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] best. I heard the name [name_u]Skye[/name_u] on some tv shows, but I’ve never met someone with this name (same with [name_f]Nelle[/name_f]).
But I love the nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f], and the name [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] sounds more unique, imo.

4

I personally prefer [name_u]Skye[/name_u], but [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] is definitely the more memorable, less common option

5

I love [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and I like [name_u]Skye[/name_u] too. Not sure about [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] with this spelling, but I think it is the one that most meets your requirements.

6

I prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (sans final e). I don’t particularity like [name_u]Skye[/name_u].

7

I’ve known a few Sky/Skye’s and not any Nelle (though I vastly prefer the Nell spelling). I prefer Nell to Skye as well.

8

Chose [name_u]Skye[/name_u] because [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] actually makes me unsure - is it “nel” or “nel-ee?” They both have the same “cool” factor, [name_f]IMO[/name_f], but I’ve heard [name_u]Skye[/name_u] more.

9

I would prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_u]Nelly[/name_u] (if you want it pronounced [name_f]Nel[/name_f]-ee). [name_u]Skye[/name_u] is not memorable to me and I have known a few girls with that name.

10

I’ve never met a [name_f]Nelle[/name_f], but something about it just rubs me the wrong way. I prefer the spelling [name_f]Nell[/name_f], but I think it’s what fits your criteria the best. I do, however, much prefer [name_u]Skye[/name_u] as a name

11

I prefer [name_u]Skye[/name_u]. I think its really pretty. I’ve never met anyone named [name_u]Skye[/name_u] in real life, but I have met a few people named [name_f]Nelle[/name_f]. I think theres just something missing from [name_f]Nelle[/name_f], I’m not a huge fan of it.

12

Neither one “wows” me, and I can’t say they are that memorable. Most [name_u]Skye[/name_u]'s I know are not the brightest stars in the sky. And I nver heard of [name_f]Nelle[/name_f]…is it pronounced [name_f]Nell[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]? Either way, it sounds like a nickname to me.

13

[name_f]Every[/name_f] kid named [name_u]Skyler[/name_u] is nn [name_u]Sky[/name_u] or [name_u]Skye[/name_u]. I never heard anyone with the name [name_f]Nelle[/name_f] (hopefully pronounced nel) before. It’s cute and I actually quite like it.

14

To me [name_u]Skye[/name_u] screams “my parents thought they were being original” but it’s actually not all that uncommon. I only know one but I know a ton of kids with [name_u]Skye[/name_u] as a middle name.
[name_f]Nelle[/name_f] is lovely. I find it uncommon without the obvious attempt to be unique. Effortlessly rare. I don’t know anyone with this name.

15

[name_f]Nelle[/name_f]! It’s more unique and pretty!

16

I much prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (spelled this way - the other spelling makes me wonder about pronunciation), it’s elegant and contemporary; [name_u]Skye[/name_u] is ok but it doesn’t do much for me. I know of one adult [name_u]Skye[/name_u] and no Nells but would consider using it myself if I have another daughter! I’d also consider it as a nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], which I love.

17

I prefer [name_u]Skye[/name_u] bur both names are great. Maybe you can make a set?

18

[name_u]Skye[/name_u] is a wonderful name! I love it.
I would prefer [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Nelle[/name_f].

19

I prefer the spelling [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. Think it has a very cool vibe.

20

I know of several girls and boys named [name_u]Sky[/name_u]/[name_u]Skye[/name_u], plus Skylars and Schuylers. I do prefer [name_f]Nell[/name_f] as a nickname, but it’s definitely more memorable.
