Nell /
Nelle as a full name. WDYT? The
Nelle spelling, I like as a hat-tip to
Nelle Harper Lee...but at the moment, I like the simplicity of
Nell. It just feels a bit...
audacious to me, you know? Daring, in a Victorian sort of way. ;)
The only name I like it as a nickname for is Parnell (see
Parnel), which I pronounce with the stress on the second syllable. Do you think the issue of parnel-the-word would be a problem? I'd never heard of it before I looked the name up here (and if it's that obscure it really doesn't bother me at all); I think that if people associated the name with anything, it'd be with the mystery author Parnell
Hall (who is a man, but that doesn't bother me, either).
So
Nell,
Nelle, and Parnell nn
Nell. Thoughts? Thanks. :)
