Yes, Nell is a popular pet name for Ellen, Helen, Eleanor etc.

Nell is short for Helen, so Nellie for Ellen sounds possible to me, Patti.
Snap! I was just wondering where you were when you were needed, Nell

I think that there are a few pet/nick-names created by inverting the name, or re-ordering it.
Ellen / Eleanor / Helen = Nellie (but that can also be an abbreviation of Petronella, as I recall, suddenly!)
Nan = Ann
