I feel you on the Elinor "Ellie" thing. I love Eleanor and I want to use it, but I'll probably have to constantly tell people not to call her Ellie. Elle / Ella I don't mind a whole lot, but they seem very trendy. I greatly prefer Nora. Same goes for Matilda, I love it, but I would never use Mattie. It's much to close to the trendy Maddie which is the name of about 10 little girls born in my town. I also hate Katy / Katie as a nickname for Kathleen / Katharine / Katherine and so on, but they seem inevitable.
