I think it’s fine as a stand alone name, but I’ve not warmed to
Nellie. I don’t find
Nell a particularly attractive sound, so I wouldn’t use
Nellie. I’d imagine
Nellie to be quite boisterous and energetic, it has a late Victorian/early Edwardian maid vibe, pretty much how I see
Gwen, but louder. I think if I met a little
Nellie I might like it more.
