ניי
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is ניי. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 70 — the same as the Torah word כן, “so, thus”. That number points to Torah page 70 of 354 — in the portion Vayeshev. What that portion is about: Joseph's dreams and his sale by his brothers; Judah and Tamar; Joseph in Potiphar's house and in prison; the dreams of the butler and the baker. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Isaiah 32:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Nelly” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: ניי. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name ניי gives 70.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 70. A Torah word with the same number is כן — “so, thus” (Genesis 1:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 7. A Torah word with the same number is או — “or” (Genesis 24:49).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 34. A Torah word with the same number is לבב — “heart” (Genesis 20:5).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 305. A Torah word with the same number is שה — “lamb, sheep” (Genesis 22:7).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2700.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 180. A Torah word with the same number is פנים — “face” (Genesis 1:2).
The letters that come out are טממ — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 89. A Torah word with the same number is טף — “little children” (Genesis 34:29).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 146. A Torah word with the same number is קום — “to arise” (Genesis 4:8).
The number 70 appears in the classical books 90 times across 44 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

Hebrew is written from right to left. ניי has 3 letters: נ Nun, י Yod, י Yod. The first letter is Nun, the last is Yod.
For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name ניי does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with נ and ends with י. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 15 such verses. The first of them is Isaiah 32:9:
נשים שאננות קמנה שמענה קולי בנות בטחות האזנה אמרתי
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
