It's funny how different the pronunciations can be
But they are still both legit.
It is also funny how nicknames can catch on or not. Like I very much doubt anyone would just call my little sister Daisy unless her parents had actually initiated it from the time she was born. Same with my niece Norah- Norah is a less natural nn from Eleanor than Ellie for example. It is generally a conscious decision to call an Eleanor Norah. Millie for Emmeline would have to be the same.
