I prefer Elinor to Eleanor, but I'd gladly use either. The Eleanor people I've known - I've never met an Elinor - have never gone by nns. Ellie is not to my taste, and though I like Nora, I don't think of it as a nn.

Eleanor sounds like ELL-ə-naw when said by me. The -r is silent. Elena doesn't happen where I live.
