Nell

I've just decided that I really like the name Nell. WDYT? Do you think that it can be a name on its own, or must it be short for something? Could you call a daughter Nell and avoid Nellie?

My son, Lukas, never answers to Luke. =) He is 10 and completely oblivious when people try and call him anything besides Lukas. So I think it's totally possible to train your child to not answer to it and to train others to NOT call her that. If they try it, just smile and say you prefer her given name.
