I just found out the name of Helena Bonham Carter's baby.

Nell.

I LOVE IT! So cute! It's a form of Helen. Her grandmother is Helene, and her mother is Elena. I like that because they're not all exactly the same, but they're all derivative. WDYT?

I love it too. They can call her Nellie in the family and Nell is still a name that looks well on a business card. Nell Burton, MP sounds very good.
It just hit me: Nell Carter.

I actually quite like that naming pattern, enough though it is a bit too cute.

It's nice as a nickname, but I really don't like it as a full first name.

Ummm okay. Guess more than one person could have the same name...

I don't like it. I think it's because Nel (with one L) is an incredibly outdated/old-fashioned name here.

I like Helena, though.

Yes. Well, Billy Ray, actually. *gag* At least you can be pretty sure that it isn't after Cyrus. I don't see them being fans of his.

I don't like Tim and Helena's naming tastes, just because they have a son named Billy Ray. Which I hate. It's gross. Nell is a lot better, and it is kind of cute, but it's not really my style.

I really like Nell. It's old fashioned without being outdated. I think it's an awesome tradition to pass down because the names are diverse enough they can keep it up for several more generations.
