Just out of curiosity: what do you think of Nigella?
See, I've always liked Nigel and was rather indifferent towards this "feminine" form. All of a sudden, though, Nigella has been growing on me. (Quite a few names I didn't care for are growing on me these days... first Penelope, now Nigella.)
Do you consider Nigella a flower/plant name, a feminization of Nigel, a celebrity name? Would you assume Nigella's parents were inspired by Miss Lawson in their name choice? Do you think it's better fit for the middle name spot?

Thanks in advance!
