HelpRe: Nellie
in reply to a message by RDNZL
Whilst I think it's usually preferable to use something like Eleanor or Ellen as the given name, I really like the name Nellie as a stand alone.
Sure, it's sweet, but Nell does carry some strength and seem somewhat formal to me. Softening the name to Nellie feels friendlier and more approachable. I would definitely encourage people to use it if they liked it :)
I also associate the name with the Australian opera singer Dame Nellie Melba (her original name was Helen).
