I am really loving the name Nell or Nelly, i doubt i would use it by itself, but its so pretty and sounds so Scottish to me.I would love to use something Scottish for my grandmother.
What could i use that sounds somewhat scottish with the nick name Nell?Eleanore nn Nell
Eleanora nn Nella / Nell
Elinor nn Nell
Helen nn NellSome other name??

I like Nell but not Nelly.I like Elinor and Eleanora nn Nell. I do like Helen a lot but for some reason I don't like the nn Nell for it.

"Nelly" is a slang word here, meaning "idiot" - nothing unrepeatable but still, living where I live I'd probably have to stick with Nell :-) I think it's OK, just not a favourite. The full form I love is Eleanora, but I prefer it without a nickname or possibly with Ella.

I love all of those choices! I prefer the spellings Elanor or Eleanor, though. Eleanora is also pretty, and Elanora is an Aboriginal place name. My sister Elanor gets called Nell, Elle-Nelle or Ella-Nella as funny nicknames:-)
