My aunt's name was Janette, shortened to Nettie or Netty. Also one of my
great-aunts was Helen, shortened to Nellie

form of Helen. I have several of those in my tree and they seemed to be
used almost interchangably.

Hi, Nellie is probably Eleanor, but Nettie is more of a puzzle. Could
be for Antoinette. I think if I were named Antoinette I'd prefer
Nettie! :-)

My GG-Grandmother was called Nettie. Full name: Sarah Jeanette
My Mo.-In-Law is Nellie, her mother Helen, her Grandmother Nellie.
I understand they used Nellie as an alternate form of Helen. My dau. is
Aileen, an Irish form of Helen.

I used to know someone called Nellie, and it wasn't short for anything.
It was on her birth certificate. Nettie could be a nickname for Janet.

Nettie is conventionally a nickname for Natalie (I.e., if you check a
dictionary of given names. People use nicknames as they choose and
there are all sorts of variants.)

As someone else has indicated, it's a matter of choice and these nicknames
could mean just about anything. My daughter's name is Jeanette but everyone
calls her Nettie.

Nellie at least in Scotland was often a nickname for Helen. My
great-Aunt Helen spent most of her life as Nell or Nellie.

Nellie can be a nickname for Helen - at least my wife's grandmother
had that name and nickname.

in London England, Irish mother, English father. At least that's what I
think, still undocumented.

her real name was Pearl and her nickname was Pirley.

My grandmother's name actually was Nettie and this was not short for anything.
I don't know if this was common or not, though.

My mother's name is Nettie Virginia, and she was first named for her mother
Nettie. Apparentlly this is name and not necessarily a nick name. Wish I knew
more about the origin of this name.
Thanks

My mother was named Nellie. I saw somewhere that it is a derivative of a
name like Anne or something similar. I once saw this on the Internet, but I
can't remember where. If I remember, I will let you know.
Sars McNulty
My grandmother was named Ellen (Irish background); she was called Nellie.
A lot of nicknames come from a baby's attempts to pronounce his/her name,
and so endear them to the parents, and stick.
