[Opinions] Olivia and Eleanor
A family member of mine has a daughter named Olivia and they're expecting another one. We are looking for a common, elegant sounding name. We have settled for Eleanor, but what do you think? Do they go together well?

I don't think they do. One is fancy and girly (Olivia), the other is understated and plain (Eleanor). I think Eleanora or Lenora would go better.
Sure, they sound nice together especially if Olivia isn't shortened to Liv or Livvy in my opinion.
They go together very well. Both have an old fashion charm and classical elegance while still being very popular. Olivia is rather over used at the moment and tends to remind me of olives. Eleanor is gorgeous.
They go great together. They're a bit like a house painted all in different tones of grey and sable. Classy, comfy, some may say "drab".
Both are elegant all right. I find Eleanor more interesting than Olivia.
They're both popular while still seeming dignified, with a long history of use in English speaking countries. Sure, they go together fine.
...Eleanor even shows up on a "names like Olivia" list (which is here, if you're interested: http://www.magicbabynames.com/?baby=girl&name=Olivia&rows=30)...I like the "names like Eleanor" list more, though.
