Re: Nell
in reply to a message by peonini
I like Nell much better than Nellie, but I'm afraid that Nellie would happen!
The only Nell I've ever known was a Nel; her given name was Cornelia, which explains the solitary L. But it's pronounced exactly like Nell.
I've got Nellie relatives on my father's and mother's sides: Nellie was always the full name - not a nn for anything. This led me astray when I was in a genealogy phase!
