Nelly, the rapper and songwriter, chose his stage name as a play on his childhood nickname, which was derived from his last name, "Air" (from his full name, Cornell Iral Haynes Jr.). He wanted a memorable and catchy name that would resonate with fans and stand out in the music industry. The name "Nelly" also reflects a sense of familiarity and approachability, which aligns with his musical style and persona.
