HelpRe: Eleanor.
in reply to a message by Jen
My grandmother's best friend was named Eleanor... other than that all the Eleanors I know are under age 6 (there was a mini-Eleanor boom among white educated liberals a few years back, and I happen to live in an area with lots of those types around!)
I like it a lot. I'd go with Eleanor or Elinor, all other spellings just look weird to me (like Eleanore, Elinore etc.) Plus, I adore the nickname Nell.
I don't think it will ever be hugely popular, but it will be a niche name, that is, if you live in areas like mine (university towns), you'll run into a few, but in the general population I think it will be pretty rare (names like Julian, Oliver and Beatrice are like that too).
