Re: Eleanor vs. Elena
in reply to a message by Evangeline Rose
I like both, but I prefer Eleanor. It sounds so dignified and beautiful.
I pronounce Elena e-LE-na and Eleanor EL-ə-nor.
I don't really care for Ella because it sounds childish to me and is overly popular these days, but it's better as a nickname than a full name. I don't mind it all that much as a nickname for Eleanor or Elena. I like Elle and Ellie much better, though.
I really like Elena Fleur and Eleanor Simone.
