I like it and on it's own. I think it's fine on its own, plus I hate all of its possible full names.

I think Nell is very cool and calm. I really like it.

---

I think it could stand alright on its own, although I don't prefer it that way.

---

I like it as a nn for Penelope best. I like it for Eleanor too, although I prefer Nora. It could also be a nn for Janelle (my cousins' little sister Janelle goes by Nelle/Nellie).

---

Nell Katherine is my favorite. Love that combo!

I like Nell a lot and I think it can stand on it's own, but I prefer it as a nn for something else.

---

Aside from Eleanor, Helen and Ellen I think it could be a nn for Penelope, Noelle, Noella, Noelia, Helena, Peronel / Petronel or Petronella.

I think that Nell is a really cute nickname and much better than Elle.
For combos, I'll focus on Eleanor because that's my favorite of all Nell fullnameables.
Eleanor Ruby
Eleanor Matilda Violet
Eleanor Cecelia
Eleanor Josephine
Eleanor Claire
Eleanor Rebecca

ETA I know that I should have thought of this a few days ago and there is only a slim chance that you'll actually read this now, but Nell could also be short for Ornella.

I love Nell, though I prefer it as a nickname for Eleanor, Ellen, Helen, and Penelope.

I like Nell. Sometimes I consider using it as a NN for Helena, but I probably won't [like Helena too much on its own ;]]. I think it's enough to stand on its own now. It's definitely a better NN-as-a-full-name than Katie or Ellie or something. Definitely would age better.

---

Penelope, Nelda, maybe AnNELiese? as full names? I like Penelope "Nell" a lot-- definitely different from Penny and Poppy. And I guess pretty much anything starting with El-. Eliana, Ellery, Elaine, etc?

---

Nell combos... definitely needs something longer (most 1 syllable names do)

I love Nell! While I like it more as a NN, I suppose it could stand on its own. I adore it as a NN for Penelope or Cornelia. My sister's favorite name is Nella, and she intends to name her first daughter this.
