What's the matter with the name Nellie? It's a very old fashioned name, quite popular among the current grandparent/great-grandparent scene. I actually really love the name.

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

I like Nellie- as a nickname. I don't like it as the whole name. I don't like any nickname for a whole name- like Danny or Nick. It should be Daniel or Nicholas, making the full name a nickname just seems halfhearted and lower-class. If you want to call your kiddo Nellie, how about naming them Helen or Eleanor? I love the nicknames Joey and Joe- so I named my son Joseph :-)

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Nellie is actually a legit name on it's own, whereas Danny, Nick, Joey, Joe, etc. are not.

http://www.behindthename.com/name/nellie

http://www.babynames.com/name/NELLIE

I mean, I know a lot of people have been named "Nelly/Nellie" but it's still just a form of Helen or Eleanor. I wouldn't choose it personally because it sounds young and nicknamey to me. I can't imagine a congresswoman with the name Nellie. Nelly Bly and Nelly Sachs were both nicknames for other names, and the most famous Nelly I can think of is a pop singer. :-/
I can easily see a Helen or Eleanor as a congresswoman: ("But my friends call me Nellie!") Does that make sense? I mean, I don't look down on those who would name their child Nellie, but I sure wouldn't!

Name I like:
Elias
Avi
James
Olivia
Sophie
Avery- This is a cute name that no one who is not a haemophelic character in a 19th- or late 18th-century English novel should ever be named. Other names I like that you can't name a person: Ava, Cole
Ian
Hannah
Tess- As a nickname
Addie- As a nicknam
Sophia
Kathryn-- This one's been growing on me
Caleb
Ariana
Nathaniel
Julie

The yech list:
Derric
Kennedi
Ashlyn
Marriah
Anndrea- I think it's funny that mum and child both have the extra letter thing going on)
Jacqueline- I was just thinking today know much I hate this name. Especially this spelling. Though that may be because I had a math teacher who pronounced it with two "q" sounds
Taunya

Ryker makes my heart hurt. Who names their kid after a prison?

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

I actually really like Yamilet. I don't think I'd ever use it, but I think it's pretty. And it's not creative, its Arabic. It's a form of Jamila =)

I also like Elias, Peyton, Emily, Ruby, Maya, Morgan, Nathaniel, Paige & Mia.

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

Hehe... I think it's funny how people's associations can be so different: When I think of Ryker, I don't think of Riker's (the prison) I think of Will Ryker, of the Starship Enterprise >_< LOL... I think "Trekkies!"

I'm surprised to see so many 80s names: Melissa, Stacy, Heather, Brandy, Stephanie..very interesting.

And what's going on with all the Sheilas?

[1121am.livejournal.com]

Nellie isn't necessarily a form of Helen or Eleanor. My sister's best friend's name is Ginelle and we call her Nellie for short.

[http://users.livejournal.com/__recidivist/]

Ah! I knew it had some sort of geeky sci-fi association (and I say that in the most loving way possible), I just couldn't figure out what it was!

[mrs-slats.livejournal.com]

"Michael (not sure why you think it's a "wtf" name)" because it's on the MOM column.. :-/ I assume it would be pronounced Mikale.
