Is Swell a common nickname for Sue Ellen?


I've never heard of it but it seems to fit nice.


I don't want to go to sleep. And you can't make me.

I hd never heard it before, but it does go well.

I agree. If I ever meet a girl who's name is Sue Ellen I will call her Swell and see her reaction. It is a nice fit.

They want us alive when they eat us.

I thought they were calling her Sue Ell, but it sounded like Swell?.

That's what I thought too, Sue El said fast, not Swell. But some people have shortened their names like that when just casually talking so it might've actually been "Swell' in that sense.

I don't know about common. I've heard it once besides this movie.
