HelpNames for Nell
Tell me all the names you can think of that contain nel or nell in them.
The only ones I can think of are Penelope and Prunella.
Just so you know why, I'm asking because I've always adored Nell, it may be my absolute favorite nn ever so I'm looking for a good name that Nell can be used for. I know Nell is traditionally a nn for Eleanor but it has never felt natural to me.

Sorry for any repeats:
Penelope
Prunella
Ornella
Anneliese / Annelie
Nella
Danielle / Daniela / Daniella (not quite "nel," but close enough)
Peronel
Hannelore
Cornelia (I know the sound of the vowel is different, but traditionally Nell is a nn)
Antonella
Fenella
Anselma (if you don't mind overlooking a consonant in the way)
Angela / Angelica
:-)

It's a stretch, but you could always pair an N- first name with an El- middle name, and call her Nell. Not much different than using CJ or something.
Norah Elisabeth
Nicolette Elle
Nina Ellery
Naomi Ellen
etc.
Also, Noelle/Noella "Nell" could work.

I'm sure others can come up with Nell names for you (I see someone mentioned Fenella down there... I love Fenella!), but just wanted to say that I love the idea of Nell as a nn for an El- name. I think the etymology is really really sweet. Same reason I'd use Nan as a nn for Anne!

Did you know you can do custom searches? Copy this link (including second asterisk at the end) to see all the names containing "nel": http://www.behindthename.com/names/search.php?nmd=n&terms=*nel*
I think Antonella or Fenella would be nice.

Thanks I keep forgetting that. I don't think when I first starting using this site that it had that feature but maybe it did, either way I always forget that it is there.
