Re: Eleanor and Evelyn
in reply to a message by Yellow Rose
I love Eleanor - it's so classic and elegant. Nora makes an adorable, youthfull nickname.
Some alternatives your DF might like:
Eleanora
Eleonora [eh-leh-AW-nora]
Leonor [lee-o-nor]
Leonora
I don't care for Evelyn, although Evie is beautiful. It's quite dated and masculine (`la Evelyn Waugh). I prefer the feminine forms, Eveline or Evelina.
More alternatives:
Eve
Evangeline
Evadne
