I've got Helen and Eleanor ancestors who went by Nellie, and I've also known it as a much-needed nickname for Petronella.

In addition to Helen, Nellie has been used as a pet form for Ellen, Eleanor, and Nelda for women; and Nelson for men.

BtN lists it as a nickname for Helen and Eleanor. It is also used as a nickname for Cornelia.
