Fern is simple-minded and excited to have been on either Hoarders or My 600-lb Life. She feels zero shame and is excited to get recognized. A lady comes to her house to perm her hair.

No. Fern is sensitive and saved a pig from slaughter in Charlotte's Web.

Please consider giving your child the longer version of the name so that she can use this if she wants later, when she is working or completing a resume, etc.

So, Beatrice or Beatrix, and then nickname Bea, or Eleanor, and then nickname Nell?

Just as a Beatrice can call herself Bea, so can a Bea call herself Beatrice. There is no name police.

Nell is a beautiful name.

Nell reminds me of the girl from the Haunting of Hill house. So it would be a no from me because of that

I would choose Bea.

How about Fern?

I love both, OP. If I had to choose, I would choose Nell. Nell is a beautiful name.

I think they're adorable nicknames, but they're too choppy for a full name. For Bea, I'd go with Beatrix. For Nell, Eleanor or Ellen (if you like shorter names).

Ann.

Or Amy, Jane, or Eve.

I love them both! Like other posters, though, I might use these as diminutives for a longer name -- Beatrice or Eleanor. No matter which you choose, best of luck, OP!

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.

Huh? Just because you know one or two dogs with a name doesn’t make it a “dog name”. I mean a) it’s not like pp suggested Rover or Fido or even Molly & b) I know dogs named Charlotte, John, Emily & Elizabeth. Does that make those “dog names”, too?
