Nelly/Nellie

[msindesisive1]

That's it really, just after general consenses on the name Nelly/Nellie thinking Nelle quite nice as nn?!

I'm a nelly/Nell short for Helen. Seriously give the child a long name also for options. I do not use Nell or nelly in any professional way just family and friends.

Nelly the elephant packed her trunk - had this sung at me a lot over the years when ever my nick name was found out!

In fact my pal (possibly shared with math) was also called Nelleke, which I think is even cuter

I knew a male Nelly too.
I think his surname was Nelson though!

I love names like it, Ellie, Molly but Nelly the Elephant is too well known!

I like it!

I think I prefer the Nellie spelling

Nelly is dreadful, it sounds ugly and ungainly IMO. Nell is passable as a nn for Ellen. Although Ellen is such a beautiful name that Nell as a nn would ruin it for me.

OK as a nickname/shortening, but not alone as a name for DD especially if she becomes overweight

Nell is a Perrrrfect name

Ellen is nicer, I do agree with mrsschu, but they are very different names! So, if you love Nellie/Nelly - go for it!!!

Why the name Nelly is normal in the United States and is considered a beautiful modern name with many celebrities. The United Kingdom is still living in the Middle Ages xD
