I had a great-uncle who fought in the First World War (in the Royal Artillery, which left him deaf for the rest of his life - the Army didn't even give them lumps of cotton wool to shove in their ears!): he was John William, known as Jack, and his wife had Nellie as her one and only given name - actually, her mn was Sandford, but that was for family reasons.

Sp, yeah, Jack and Nell - very nice!
