If you like short, traditional names like those two, I would go with Tess.

If you are set on those two names, I would give her a longer legal name. I vote for Beatrix nn Bea as a first choice & Janella nn Nelle as a second. I would spell Nelle Nell, though, to lessen the chances of her being called Nellie.


Tess. Dog name as I know. Cute dog name.

Sorry, I see now that you already plan on spelling it Nell instead of Nelle!

Nell still makes me go straight to the movie - not a great association. But Bea feels like a nickname. What about Jane, Elle, Claire, Faye, June, or Rose?

I would choose a longer form of either (which you never have to utter if you don’t like it) to ensure that your DD has options as she ages in case short and sweet doesn’t appeal to her as much as it does to you. If you do that, then both Bea and Nell make fine nicknames.

They are both very sweet. I like Nell more but both are great choices.

Oh my god, neither! Those are short all right, but they're stumpy, not sweet.

We like short, sweet names. Which would you choose?
