[Opinions] Re: Some thoughts:

I'm surprised at the response to Nell, at best it seems nicknamey to me, at worst, it reminds me of death knell lol, I think I've been reading too much Shakespeare.
I'm really glad to see Muriel, I agree it has a frumpy image, but underneath that it's such a pretty name and hopefully if you start to see more girls called Muriel it will lose the image.
Jamie is not as unisex here, it is quite firmly established as a boys name (my dad is known as Jamie) and girls called Jamie are very much a recent phenomenon, and still in a minority.
