Isabelle or Eleanor?
Replies
I prefer Elinor. I don't like all type of versions of Isabel, Isabelle, Isobel, etc.
I find Eleanor more interesting, though they’re both fine.
Eleanor
I dislike Isabelle, it's prissy. Isabelle > Elinor, Isabel > Eleanor, Isabel > Elinor.

I'd take either Eleanor or Elinor over Isabelle any day. I can't decide between them, actually! Probably Elinor: less complicated, but also less familiar ... it's confusing.
Isabelle is a no-no anywhere that isn't Francophone. Isabel is OK and Isobel would be my choice. I think I'd use Elinor rather than Isobel, but Nellie and Bella are both family names so it is tricky.

I’ve never liked Isabelle (I prefer Isabella).

Isabel or Isabelle, more feminine and pretty, don't like the nor part
Eleanor, in all it's forms, trumps Isabelle any day.
Isabelle is just too sweet and childish.

Isabelle. Eleanor just never interested me.
Isabel is better than Isabelle / Isabella
Eleanor is better than Elinor.
I think I prefer Eleanor because even though both names are overdone, I'd rather another Nora than another Bella/Ella.

I wouldn't call her Nora or Bella or Ella and I don't think it is likely that other people would.
Isabelle
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Forgot Isobel, (Bleh) Isabel, or even Isabella. Isabelle is frilly, funny, and kinda weird next to limp Isabel.
Isabelle definitely wins between that and Eleanor. Eleanor is cool, but Isabelle just had more pizazz. Eleanor gives me the vibes of a aloof, rich, and quiet girl.
