I think Nell is too nickname-y to work as a full name. It is quite nice though.

Nell Aria
Nell Magnolia
Nell Arienne
Nell Clemence
Nell Cordelia
Nell Adelia
Nell Madeleine
Nell Josie

I love Nell! I prefer Nelle as it looks more like a complete name (not just a nickname) to me. I may very well consider it more seriously some day because it's my great grandmas name.

---

Nell Rebecca is sweet. I think it works best with a 3 or more syllable MN. So I like Nell Sophia better than Nell Sophie

---

Nell Amanda - I don't even like Amanda but it works fantastically here I think.

Nell Galadriel
Nell Samantha
Nell Felicia / Nell Felicity

I think it's sweet, but prefer it as a nn for Eleanor or Helen.

Nell Marina
Nell Sophia
Nell Olivia
Nell Evelyn

I like it, but more as a NN.

A friend's kid (in England) is named Nelleke, and goes by Nell.

For me, Nell has warmth and charm and also feels grounded; definitely like it. Visually, I slightly prefer the spelling, Nelle. I played around with combos some time back and my favorites then (using your spelling) were...

---

Nell Hermione
Nell Winifred

---

Other ideas (please forgive any repeats)...

Nell Abigail

Nell (or Nelle) is one of my favorites!

---

How about

---

Nell Martine
Nell Sylvie
Nell Amoret
Nell Athena
Nell Cassia
Nell Merida
Nell Scarlett
Nell Rosalie
Nell Autumn
Nell Faline
Nell Mara
Nell Clara

I can see Nell as a middle name, but it's too short and nickname-y for a first name.

---

Combo suggestions:

---

Nell Aldith
Nell Aldreda
Nell Amalthea
Nell Eudora
Nell Hemera
Nell Hestia
Nell Johanne
Nell Medea
Nell Phaedra
Nell Rohesia
Nell Sunniva
Nell Xanthe

I want to love Nell so much but I think of the strongly mediocre Jodie Foster movie. That association kind of turns me away. But I heartily suggest it for someone else!

---

I also like Nella, esp. as a nickname for Eleanora.

---

Lets try something earthy in the middle:

---

Nell Amethyst
Nell Hazel
Nell Lavender
Nell Daisy
Nell Iris
Nell Winter
Nell Jessamyn

---

Others:
Nell Lenora
Nell Lorena
Nell Diana
Nell Winona
Nell Ramona
Nell Virginia
Nell Rosemary

---

ETA: As I'm typing it, it kind of looks a lot like Neil. It might get confused on a roster or whatevs.

I only like it as a nickname for Eleanor. Even then, I don't love it or anything. But of course I think Nell Victoria is the best of the combos.

It's sweet, although it also reminds me of the (death) knell of a bell, which is slightly creepy.

---

I prefer it as a NN or MN. It pairs well with a lot of longer names.

I used to find Nell disappointing, but it has really grown on me. It's strong and no-nonsense, while also being quirky, woodsy, and storylike.

---

Nell Sophie is cute! But you're right, it's missing something... Nell Sophy maybe? Nell Sofie?

---

Some ideas from me:

---

Nell Moira
Nell Millicent
Nell Amanda
Nell Amy
Nell Philippa
Nell Evangeline
Nell Matilda
Nell Ophelia
Nell Bronwyn
Nell Evelyn
Nell Marguerite
Nell Ivy
Nell Genevieve

Too short and cut-off. If on it's own, then I feel it would make a better middle
