Re: Eleanor.
in reply to a message by Jen
I know two Eleanor's about 17. I know about 10 Ellie's or Elly's between the ages of 3 and 20. (Ellie being their full name). There is a possibility it will become popular, as it's a favourite on this board and a good alternative to popular Ella and Emma. However I doubt it will sky rocket.
Eleanor or Elinor are good spellings.
Would you consider Ellen? I think it's a much nicer name, a lot softer and friendlier and much more humble.

Ellen
I kmew an Ellen as a kid! She was older than me by a few years, so she'd be thirty-something by now. I thought she was sooo cooool. We were "cabin neighbours" - our families had cottages near to each other. She was sporty, adventurous, and strong, but so kind, friendly and warm-hearted. A very generous soul. It's given me a good assocation with the name Ellen ever since.
I agree, give Ellen a chance!
