Middle name to modernize Nellie

[amy8686]

We love the name Nellie, but we have yet to come up with a middle name. I really like the idea of a more modern middle name to un-grandma-ify Nellie (not that there's anything wrong with grandma names, but I think it's super cute mixed with a more youthful name).

The only "modern" name on our list was Zoe, but clearly Nellie Zoe isn't gonna work. We prefer unusual names - popularity is the reason Zoe got nixed as a first name option.

Ideas?

Like pp suggestion of Nellie Rae and Nellie Hope - I think this signifies the journey you've been on to get your baby (from looking at your sig) xx

I think an A sounding name works really well...

I love Nellie I don't find it an old lady name I guess as it is having a resurgence. My first thought before even coming on the thread was Rae, I love that as a middle name so much.
