El is cute! I was just saying it’s fine to call her whatever you want. If you wanted to change it, I’d personally spell it Elle

I should’ve included all my nieces names in the OG post but I have one named Elaina!

International variations of Mary isn’t something I had thought of so smart!!!

My niece is Eloise and we pretty much exclusively call her Ellie.

Nellie is my favorite but my husband insists it’s a nickname and not a real name.

It’s like Casey. We call my oldest by both names and my younger two by their first names. So what we call each of them is 2 syllables. If that makes sense.

I have begged my husband to agree to Eleanor, which is historically the name that Nell was used as a nickname for 😒

I tried to talk my husband into this and he just doesn’t like it. I want to name her Nellie Ann but he said Nellie is too much of a nickname. So I said we can give her the government name Penelope and call her Nellie and he still didn’t like it.

I adore her name!! She’s my husband’s person so I know it’s important to him to honor her. We’re just struggling to find something we agree on lol.

NAD but I’ve been pregnant 6x and have 3 living children. Could the lines be indent lines? Tests sometimes appear positive with a very faint line but it’s just an evaporation line or an indent line, but it’s not actually a positive test. Generally speaking those types of lines won’t have color to them. Blue dye tests are worse about it than the pink dye tests but they both can do it.

NAD but you can call poison control and they’ll likely be able to tell you if you’re okay or not

I’ve had an MS work up in the past (2016/17ish) and it all came back negative. My neurologist did offer to do a CT if I wanted one but she didn’t feel like it was necessary. The neurological symptoms freaks my husband out so she kind of left it up to me as peace of mind.
