My friend’s daughter is named Janelle and her nn is Nellie.

I like it, but I think it’s best as a nickname. Maybe for one of these?

Annelien
Anneliese
Cornelia
Penelope

I’ve also heard it as a nn for Eleanor, Eleonora, Ellen, Helen, and Helena, but that’s kind of a stretch.

I love it as a nickname for Penelope. Never as a stand alone name though

I had a friend in grade school named Nellie and I never particularly liked it. I would use a fuller name with Nellie as a nn if you do use it.

How about just Nell, with Nellie as a nickname? That was my great grandmother’s name, and I love it. Otherwise, Nellie is fine in my opinion, as a stand alone. I actually prefer it to the any of the suggested more formal names.

Nellie is lovely. I prefer it as a nickname for Eleanor or Penelope. Just Nell would be nice too.
