Elanor is *not* old-fashioned...(m)
In fact, it's thoroughly modern.
Eleanor, on the other hand, is old-fashioned.

I have to agree...
They picked names with very strong and contrasting images, which seems a little unfair right off the bat - like if you heard of two sisters named Gertrude and Tiffany, you get two very different mental images.
Elanor Anne is lovely, but she sounds like a spinster librarian next to down-home Daisy-Duke wearin' sister Betty Jo.
Even tweaking it just a tad to, say, Ellie Anne and Betty Jo, Or Elanor Anne and Elizabeth Joan would have made them a little more cohesive. I like both names separately, but together they just don't fit!
