  • Nellie

    Would a girl have been christened Nellie (1920s) or is it short for something.

    Often short for Helen, Helena, Ellen, or Eleanor, but also often used as a name in its own right.

      I have a few Nellie's in my tree and that is what is on the birth certificate.

        My Nellie was born Ellen, called herself Helen and everyone else called her Nellie.

            I'm Helen and my family call me Nell. I also have a gt uncle who married a Nellie, the name she'd been registered with.

            I have a gt x 3 grandmother called Eleanor who is recorded as Nelly in various registers.
