A friend of mine was considering
Eleanor for her dd. She would have used the nn
Ellie. But in the end she opted for
Julia. The child is about six years old now. She lives in California, U.S.
The only other
Eleanor that I know is in her teens by now. She lives in
Washington State, U.S.
I like both the
Eleanor and
Elinor spellings.
Eleanor feels more classic and calm.
Elinor feels more artsy and fairy-tale-ish. It just depends on which feeling I want to convey in a particular combination or sibling set.
