It's quite possibly her full first name, it doesn't have to be a nn for anything. My nan's name is Nellie.

How about Nella with the nickname Nellie?

I dislike Nellie because of old "Little House on the Prairie" associations and because calling someone "nelly" isn't necessarily a nice thing at all. Actually, I was very surprised that a R&B singer/rapper (whatever the heck he is) calls himself just Nelly. :b I guess we run in different circles, though. I do like Nell, though, as a nn for Eleanor or Penelope, oddly enough. :)

Nellie should not be a full name. I think it should be short for:
Eleanor
Penelope
Cornelia
Caroline/ Carolyn/ Karolyn
Lynn/ Lynette

---

combos Nellie could be short for:
Anna Elizabeth
Eleanor Louisa
Lindsay Eleanor

I love Nellie, both as a formal name and as a nn. It sounds so soft and sweet.

The top name (and probably what I would choose if I had a girl) on my girl list is Eleanor, nn Nellie or Nell.

Proud foster mother to 26 exclamation marks. See profile for their names.

I know a girl named Nelly ( it is actually getting trendy-popular in Sweden), so sure, it could have been her real name.
Could also be for Eleanor, Helen, Ellen....

Nickname for Helen or Eleanor. I like it

My best friends name is Danielle and everyone calls her Nellie, she hates it.. and I am not too crazy about Nellie myself.

I think it's cute as a nickname for Eleanor or Elinor but I like Ellie better.

Have yourself a buggy little Christmas!

I dislike the name, because a "nelly" is an "idiot" where I live. Her full name might've been Helen or Eleanor.

---

I'm Elinor, and can tolerate Elly though I only like Elle. If anyone dared call me Nelly (or worse, Nell) I'd fly for them!
