Before the Jeep, Pat Brady rode a mule. Given his famous phrase, "Whoa, Nellie", I suspect that that was the mule's name. If so, then it must have the the progenitor name that was later applied to the Jeep, Nellie Belle. This is just a strong suspicion. I would have to buy a bunch of old Roy Rogers movies (some are available) and go through them hoping to find a definitive answer. Someday, I might do just that.
