HelpElinor
This was my favorite name a very long time ago, spelled Elinor.
In the last couple of years I leaned more towards the Eleanor spelling.
However, for a few days now I've been thinking about Elinor from time to time again and I think I actually prefer this spelling once more.
Do the spellings give you different feelings, colors or images?
What do you think of Elinor? Do you prefer it over Eleanor? Will she constantly have to explain it?
What do you think of the name in general? Too common? Boring?
I love it in its full form and wouldn't use nicknames, but I don't mind Ellie, in case people would call her that.
In your accent, does it sound the same as Elena? I pronounce it more like EHL-ə-nawr but I think I heard that in some British accents it's ELL-ə-na? Not sure, though. The -nawr part is what makes it pretty, in my opinion, even though I do like Elena (but only as eh-LAY-na).
