[Opinions] Re: Nell(e) and Parnell
in reply to a message by Array
I love Nell and Nelle.
Parnell unfortunately only has negative connotations for me. It was the surname of the guy who, in 1972, abducted 7-year-old Steven Stayner and abused him for seven years before Steven escaped with a new young child that Parnell had just abducted. The case was turned into a mini-series and later a movie named "I Know My First Name is Steven", which we watched in Early Childhood Studies when I was in high school. Parnell is also the surname of a guy who's just been charged with murdering his ex-partner here in Perth.
So the name makes my skin crawl, sorry!
Parnelle wouldn't be as bad as it's less masculine and therefore doesn't have the male-creep aura for me. Also, Peronelle would be gorgeous. Do either of those interest you?
