Re: Eleanor vs. Elena
in reply to a message by Evangeline Rose
My pronounciation of Elena seems to change daily! Today I'm saying el-AY-na, which Eleanor is EL-a-nor.
Consequently I prefer Eleanor - Elena has too many pronounciation options , leading to confusion. Also I think Eleanor looks more classic, which Elena looks a little too modern and simplified.
Ella is a cute nickname, but it's sooo common. I like Nora as a nickname for Eleanor!
