My cousin recently had a kid called Nefeli! You're right, Nephele is prettier, but no one will pronounce it right. I hate hate HATE the ë with the diaresis. My mn is Zoë and I find it unbearably pretentious. Honestly, I like Nephelie. It has a slightly French vibe, but a Greek sound, and even if it's not a legit spelling, so what? You can anglicize Nephele however you want, as long as the pronunciation stays true.
It's a beautiful name that deserves more love.
