HelpWhat would "Telly" be short for?
I'm watching the movie The Forgotten, and the main character's name is Telly. I'm wondering what it could be short for, so if it was you, what would you use Telly as a nickname for? The character is female.
It drives me nuts when a character in a movie has a really unusual name and nobody ever explains it.

Telemundo! :)
Maybe it's not short for anything though, maybe it just "is." Which would bother me, if that's the case!

Nutella :D
I thought of obscure Roman family names like Metella and Vitellia, but Theresa seems much more likely. Natalia seems vaguely possible too.

Woo, Ostarella is different. Can you tell us more about that one?

I honestly have no clue. It popped into my head as I was typing the rest so I wrote it down. I just googled it and it seems to be a fairly uncommon surname, someone's username on a forum, and a blog... I'm trying to think if there's a similar name or word that was in my head at the time, but I'm not sure.

Donatella? :)

That's actually a really cute idea!

My husband went to school with a guy who was named Tellenore, or something pronounced like that, who was called Telly.
Mattel?
Television?
Chantelle?

Chantelle?

Tellenore is an interesting name. Wonder what the story is behind that one.

I don't like Telly. It's short for television here, I can't see it as a name. Gretel is nice but I don't think it needsa nickname.

Telly is really cute! :)
Batel
Cateline - is this "just" KAYT-lin? Because if it would be CAT-uh-line it would be awesome!
Chantelle
Donatella
Estelle / Estella
Gretel
Katell
Quintella
Tehila
Tellervo
I'd love Katell nn Telly! Katell has never come up on my radar before and I like it. Telly also brings Chantelle up a few notches for me.

I'd use it for something like Theophila :)

That's a neat idea! When I first tried to think of what Telly could be short for, my brain immediately jumped to Telemachus - which is a male name, but still. I thought Telly could work for a long, meandering old Greek name like that, and Theophila fits that to a T!
