I love both! I prefer Elena for a first name and Eleanor for a middle name.
I don't really like Ella as a nn because it's so popular, but it isn't bad. I also like Elen as a nn.
I say EL-en-or and EL-en-a. I pronounce them differently because I have an American accent, so the "or" in Eleanor sounds like the word "or" and the "a" in Elena is just a schwa.
I also like Elanor!
