I really like Eleonora "Nora" and Madalena, but Madalena "Ella" seems like too much of a stretch. I think that Lena and Alena make more sense as nicknames for Madalena. There's also Ada. Using a different nickname for Madalena would eliminate the confusion regarding Ella and Eleonora.

Yes, that would be weird, especially since Ella isn't even a nickname for Madalena.

If it was something like Eleonora "Nora" and Gabriella "Ella", it would make more sense, but it would still be confusing.

I think it's a problem that if you called them, putting Madalena first, you'd get something that sounds uncomfortably close to Eleonora's proper name: "Ella! Nora!" It also doesn't help that Ella isn't an intuitive nickname for Madalena, but it fits Eleonora like a glove.

So, yes, I guess I do think it would be weird. Eleonora and Madalena are cute for sisters, but I think Madalena needs a different nickname.

I think it would be a little strange to have Eleonora and then Ella as a nickname for something else. I don't really think Ella works as a nickname for Madalena anyway, it doesn't have an "el" sound in it. Lena or Maddy would be better in my opinion.

If Ella was an obvious nn for both then no I don't think so but I don't see Ella as a nn for Madelena.

I'd use Maddy, Lena or Lainey.
