Elinor
I watched Sense & Sensibility the other day for the first time in years, and I decided I enjoy the name/spelling Elinor.What are your thoughts on Elinor, and what would you choose for a middle name?

I love the spelling Elinor, though there is the potential for constant misspelling because Eleanor, despite being kind of an old-fashioned name in its own right, is the vastly more popular spelling (Eleanor of Aquitaine, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc.).Elinor Fiona

I don't mind Elinor, however, Eleanor definitely looks more "right" to me. I appreciate that it's elegant, smart, and classic yet has a softness to it. It's not flighty or limiting (not that any name is truly limiting, but you get the idea).Combos:Elinor Sophia

I think it's an okay spelling of Eleanor, and that Eleanor's a nice, classic name. I also tend to like names that are 3 syllables, so that's a plus.But I'm getting tired of seeing El- names in general (Elinor, Eleanor, Elsa, Ella, Elizabeth, Elena, Eliana, Elodie, Elowen, Eloise, Elise, Ellis, Eli, Elias, Elijah, Elliot). I'm not entirely sure if that's because I hear them a lot IRL or because I see them a lot on BtN. I'm guessing it's a mixture.Elinor Antonia
