[Opinions] Elinor, Eleanor, Elanor or Eleanore?

Eleanor
Ditto
I prefer Eleanor... I just like the look of it best.
I do also like Elinor, though.
I don't know anyone in everyday life with the name, but there is someone on another board I post at who recently had a baby girl and named her Eleanor, this spelling. It was also my great-grandmother's name, spelled Eleanor.

Eleanor.
Eleanor...
Because it seems like the traditional spelling (I suppose I could be wrong) and it's how my grandmother's name is spelled. I only person I know who has this name is my grandmother.

Aye, Elinor Dashwood stimulated my fondness for Elinor. :)
Eleanor is my favorite
Elanor doesn't look right to me. I know it's a legit name, but it just looks like someone is trying to be "unique" with Eleanor. With Eleanore, the 'e' just isn't necessary, so it's out. Elinor is okay, but I don't pronounce Elinor and Eleanor the same way. Elinor is more like EL-lin-nor and Eleanor is EL-ə-nor.

Elinor
I have a tendency towards Hebrew names and I've seen Elinor used on some Jewish children and Israeli children. Personal preference. Also, I really dislike Eleanor and Eleanore because they remind me of FDR's wife, of whom I am not particularly fond. Elanor looks like you sort of forgot to add an "e" somewhere.
