HelpRe: Nellie
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I wouldn't use it. I think it's fine for someone else but I'd much rather see it as a nickname than a full name. Nellie is the nicest spelling, I prefer it over Nelly and Nelli. I can see it work nicely as a nickname for Eleanor, Ellen etc.
The reason why I would never use it, not even as a nickname, and why I don't like it as much as I normally would is that I watched 'Little House on the Prairie' and the character called Nelly (not sure if it was spelled like that or as Nellie) was so awful that it has ruined the name somewhat. My second association is gymnast Nelli Kim.
I wish I would meet an awesome Nellie because it's actually a nice name if you can have good associations with it.
