Re: How much does your accent influence your favourite name choices?
I love the name Eleanor, but I'm on the fence about ever using it because of pronunciation. I pronounce it ell-uh-nor, but some parts of my family who are from other states pronounce it ell-uh-nr (as if the o doesn't exist).

I have a great aunt Eleanor, and my family all says it like "Ellen-ur". It really doesn't do the name justice at all!
