My given name is Eleanor
But you may call me Nell;
My second name is Rowan,
Though seldom do I tell;
My other name is Emma,
Which I can even spell!

So many names for one so small …
And two surnames as well.

Sweet and lovely :-) atb lena x

Cute!

Thanks to you all. Glad you liked it.

I wrote it for my daughter who's now 17. 'Heart-warming', 'sweet and lovely' and 'cute' are words that may once have been apposite.

'Bloody-minded teenager' is now the phrase that comes to mind.

No - I don't really mean it. She's still my little Nell and always will be.
