Eleanor is a favorite of mine. To settle the nickname question, I'd say that you could use it, but call her something besides
Ella. I've always thought
Lenore/
Lenora and
Nora sound pretty. And, I like both
Eleanor and
Elinor, but I'd use
Eleanor.
Zelda is pretty, but the confusion with
Velda might be confusing. I suppose it could work as a MN but then what FN would you use? Maybe you could use
Griselda instead and call her
Zelda?
I love
Eleanor Ruth, and
Zelda Ruth is pretty as well.

Ahh, nature . . .
