what do you think of the name Nele? It's German and is pronounced Nay-lah.

or Nel-ee.

I don't like it, it looks imbalanced.
I'm not even sure how it's german, looks more hawaiian

I think the pronunciation is pretty, but it might be hard for people to figure out how it's pronounced.

I like it, but I agree with what everyone is saying about the pronunciation.

I knew a girl called Nele, but we pronunced it more like Neh-luh.
She told me her name was Scandinavian, so were her siblings' names but I have no idea whether this is actually right or not. :>

She's German.

I have a feeling it's actually Belgian or something. But maybe that's just because it seems to be a fairly common name there =)
I like it, but usually it's pronounced Nay-le ('le' as in French).

yeah, that's short for cornelia which is german. phonetically, nele sounds more like dutch or scandinavian to me (even though i'm german/swiss). it's an ok name but anglos will probably just say "nelly" anyway.

I like it. I think it's a very pretty name, but I agree with the pronounciation part.
