"Nellie" was a nickname that Dame Nellie Melba had from childhood; it was a common nickname for females named Helen in the late 19th century. As for "Melba," that surname was derived from the Australian city of Melbourne. Melba adopted her stage name before she became famous; her voice teacher, Mathilde Marchesi, urged her to adopt a more glamorous name for the stage, and that is how Helen Porter Mitchell Armstrong became Nellie Melba.
