Is Nelly's name original

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're talking about Nellie Bly, the woman who traveled around the world in less than 80 days. If you are talking about her, then no, that was not her real name. Her real name was Elizabeth Cochran. She was a reporter, and she created a fake name for herself because it was the custom during that time period for women reporters to have pen names. The name Nellie Bly came from a song by Stephen Foster, "Nelly Bly", which was a popular song back then.

Cornell Iral Haynes, Jr. (born November 2, 1974), known professionally as Nelly, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, investor, and occasional actor from St. Louis, Missouri.
