I don't know Laura. I do remember notes from some lecture on folk music asserting that Alice Pryor used the name Nelly Bly. Then Elizabeth Cochrane had an editor that suggested she use the pseudonym Nelly Bly but somehow it ended up Nellie. So Alice was first and Elizabeth was the second Nelly/Nellie. Neither was the actual name of a real person. Hope you get this before it is deleted.
