I prefer Nigella.

---

Nigella is simpler and just sounds more attractive than Nigelia, imo. I would probably prn Nigelia like nai-JEEL-ya, which is a prn I don't care for. I've pondered putting Nigella on my favorites' list for a while now.

Sorry but I really don't like it.
I prefer Nigella, if it is meant to be a feminine form of Nigel.
It's too awkward-sounding to me.

Weird name. Reminds me of Nigeria. Don't think it has a very good sounding, though...

As far as feminizations of Nigel go, I much prefer Nigella. Neither one is my style, however.

Nigelia makes me think of things congealing.

I don't like it sorry - the sound is unattractive (nie-GEE-lee-uh - makes me think of something congealing) and I also think of a name snark in a Terry Pratchett book:

Nigella, a name that means "oops we wanted a boy" (from "Soul Music" . . . I think).

I know it's Nigelia not Nigella, but the thought is the same: d'oh, we were going to name 'him' after grandpa Nigel, what are we going to name her?
