Eleanor

In Spain, we pronounce Eleanor as 'eh-leh-ah-nohr' with the emphasis on the second syllable. It is a pretty name.

Am British and prefer the American way of saying this with emphasis on the end part, makes more sense said that way.

Eh-luh-nor and eh-luh-nuh are perfectly acceptable with the latter being more commonly used in England. I like both.

I've heard this name pronounced e-lee-uh-nor, though that's probably not right.

In England it rhymes with Helena or sounds like Ellen-ah.

Realized while watching the Good Place that some people pronounce it Ella-nurr. I always thought it was just Ella-nore.

Although the English pronunciation (rhymes with Helena) is a little odd given the spelling I much prefer it to the way it's said in America.

My name is Eleanor and I am an American and my family, friends, and I all pronounce it "El-uh-NER" not "El-uh-NOR". I believe this is the original way to pronounce it, because it is an English name and we are of English descent. The only time I've heard it pronounced "El-uh-NOR" is usually when a person hasn't heard the name before or is not of English descent/WASP.

My name is Eleanor after both my grandma and my mum... It's pronounced Ell-ah-nah which I find much prettier and everyone comments on how much nicer it is when pronounced that way.
For those of you not knowing how it can be pronounced like this, my Granddad used to explain that you wouldn't pronounce 'Doctor - Doc-TOR' or 'tractor - Trac-TOR' (well you might if you have an American accent) so this name follows the same structure :)

I'm English and live in the North West. My friend's name is Eleanor. She pronounces it 'ell-eh-nor' NOT 'ell-en-a' as do all her family and friends. I don't understand how Eleanor even remotely looks like it should be pronounced like Elena... O_o.

In Britain it is pronounced EL-en-uh or EL-en-er. The 'NOR' part is not made at all unlike the American pronunciation.

My sister's name is Eleanor, and I think it's an okay name, but we pronounce it ellen-uh, rather than with the influence on the "nor" suffix. I think that the pronunciation "elean-or" is more of an American thing.

In England, it is not usually pronounced El-en-or, but El-en-er. I know, because it's my name, and no one - ever - pronounces is El-en-or. I think El-en-or is a more American pronunciation, and personally, I prefer the one I'm used to.

I've known two eccentrically pronounced 'Eleanors': Eleonor pronounced eh-LEE-a-nor and an Alieanor ahl-ya-AH-nor.

This is my name. Athough I usually go by Ellie, when people first meet me, they sometimes address me as Eleanor. However, some people will pronounce it as though it were spelled Eleaner, which I think is really ugly! Please pronounce this name the correct way!
