Girl names that can be shortened to nell or Nelly

I lost someone very close to me called Nelly and I would absolutely love to call my child that but I don't want them to get bullied for being named after an elephant. I'm trying to think of names that can be shorted to nell instead. Really like Eleanor but would like a few more to think about

I love the name Janelle!

My name is Chanel and get called Nel

Penelope

Fenella

I think Nell or Nelle is lovely on its own. Or you could always use as a middle name if you’re not sure. Helena or Noelle are other options

Eleanora! Can be Ellie, Nora, or Nellie!

I do like “Nell” all by itself.

As someone who’s called Nell I love my name! I’m named after my great grandmother who I never got to meet whose name was Nelly. People are always surprised when they ask if it’s short for anything and I say no however I’m named after a Nelly. I could just be biased 🤣x

Love Nell! Penelope or Chanel

I use to know a girl called Petronella which I shortened to Nell. But I also think Nelle is a cool stand alone name (always liked it since watching Ally McBeal back in the day)

i love Arianell as a full name for Nell! it's a Welsh name which means "silver".
