Nellie
I heard the name Nellie last night as the name of a girl in college. What full names could Nellie be short for or do you think Nellie is her given name? What do you think of the name?

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

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....

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

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!
