Nellie

I love the name Nellie but prefer it on a girl aged between 0-12. After that I do find it a little bit childish but don't take it the wrong way because I really do think this name is beautiful.

I find Nellie adorable, feminine, and personable, and it is not as common as Ellie. Yes, I like it... however, I find it too informal as a full name. I wish there were longer names that could be shortened to Nellie. Cornelia is an option, but I don't know more.

I have a friend that's name is Nellie, not a nickname, just Nellie. But it's not that rare, because in Sweden it's used a lot. But super cute!

I love this name, it seems old-fashioned yet cute.

I prefer Nelly; this spelling gets on my nerves.

I prefer Nelly.

Nellie is very sweet. I think this spelling looks better aesthetically than Nelly. I'd probably use Nelle for a first name as it sounds more formal to me, though.

I can see teasing in school “smelly Nellie”.

I really love this name! It may just be because it’s my middle name but I still think that this is an amazing name! I have considered going by it. It’s just so different and pretty!

Sounds too much like Smelly. Nell is much more dignified.

I love love love the name Nellie! I always have. I love it both on its own and as a nickname of a longer name - because I like or love all of those names that I know that Nellie could possibly be a nickname of. I love Helen(a) to pieces and Cornelia has a huge emotional significance to me. I think I prefer Nellie as a nickname, it's cute and lovely on its own but I just usually prefer using a longer name with a cutesy nickname. Also, all the Nel- names are or rather have been awfully trendy in Poland for some 20 years now among parents with more modern tastes (not Nellie itself but Nela or Nel for example) so I would not use Nellie on its own here as I wouldn't like it to feel pretentious and for her to be one of many girls with very similar names in her generation. So I would rather use Helena or Kornelia (or maybe even Aniela?) and call her Nellie/Neli at times. If I lived in an English-speaking country I would be more likely to call my child just Nellie but probably wouldn't either.
Nellie has such an angelic vibe to me. It sounds quite childish but I can see it aging well (although I don't know anyone with this name). The Nellie Oleson association doesn't ruin it for me. I guess that the fact I think it is angelic could be because the first Nellie I've ever heard of was little Nellie of the Holy God (Ellen Organ, an Irish child who was very saintly and died at a very young age, about 4 or so, if I remember correctly. I think that Ellie ages better though.

What a great name! Always has been my favorite N name for a girl. It can also be a nickname for Eleanor, Janelle, Cornelia, etc.

Also short for Cornelia. Used as an independent name too. Possibly ruined for many by the "mean girl" Nellie Olsen on Little House on the Prairie.

Adorable name, my mom calls me this as a nickname. (My real name is Brianna but she wanted to name me Nellie.) This could be a nickname for Prunella, Antonella, Jenelle and I've even met a man named Darnell who went by this.

I think this name is cute. Even though it's old fashioned I think it still works on little girls.

Honestly, I love the name Nellie. Not only is it unique, but it's my own name!

I have never personally been a fan of this name, I don't know why. :( But I think its short and easy to remember!

I love this name, it reminds me of gorgeous Tim Burton-esque ladies dressed in corsets and living in filthy 19th-century England, probably because of the character Nellie (Nelly?) Lovett from Sweeney Todd.

I like this name, because I like the character Nellie Lovett of "Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street." It's sweet, cute, and feminine. A nice name for a daughter.

My name is Nellie Teresa. I was named after my grandmother (Nellie) from Germany. She would have been born around 1880 a popular name for the period. Nellie is a derivative of Helen/Eleanor and means "light." When you consider that Helen of Troy was considered the most beautiful woman in the world and Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the most respected and intelligent woman of our nation HOW CAN YOU NOT ADMIRE THE NAME?

This name is adorable and spunky! I absolutely love it and would totally use. :D

This is my real name and I love it! It is unique but also classic. It isn't short for anything, although people always ask. It can be short for Cornelia, though.
