Awww, how gorgeous :) I love both!I would've preferred something more substantial than Jo, but Betty & Elanor are gorgeous.

OMG! A little Betty...Betty is beautiful but I hate to admit myself the combo Betty Jo is a little hickish. Betty Jean, Betty Ann or Betty Mae would have been a little pettier.

Oh, an Elanor~Elanor is a Lord of the Rings name to me though I'm sure it's been used before that but the Lord of the Rings definition is so pretty that I just adore the connection ^_^ I'm not a fan of Betty Jo at all.

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

Betty Jo is both 50's pin up kitten plus girl next doorBetty Josephine or Johanna I'd have liked more. Give at least one formal name.Elanor is lovely. I'm not fond of Eleanor at all.

Betty Jo is so hillbilly and Elanor looks so stupid. I don't like either.

I don't like either. Betty Jo should be a nickname for Elizabeth Joanne and Elanor looks like someone spelled Eleanor wrong

Seems like Elanor "Ellie"/"Nora" Anne and Elizabeth "Betty" Joan would be a better pairing. Elenor Anne is very sofisticated and Betty Jo is so, well, Hillbilly.

Elanor Anne just doesn't sound right when juxtaposed with Betty Jo. The two just don't go together at all. I've never liked Betty, and Jo is a nickname in my opinion. I think Elizabeth Josephine or Betty Josephine would have been a much better combo. Betty Jo sounds a bit like a hillbilly.

Seems a little unfairElanor Anne is nice enough-- there are plenty of NN options and it just feels substantial. Betty Jo doesn't have the same options and feels very flimsy in comparison.

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!

Elanor!Elanor Anne is adorable, and I absolutely love this spelling. Betty Jo is a little too simple for me but it's sweet.

I really hate Betty and Betty Jo sounds kind of hick-ish. Elanor Anne is ok.
