I'm not sure how to pronounce the middle one! I love Ellen. Although I wonder if it would get annoying people calling her Helen... What about Elaine? I think that is such a pretty name. Could shorten to Elle/El :)

I'd use Elenie on her BC. Then you can you use either of the 3.

Elle, beautiful!
I've never met or heard Eleni spoken but in my head it's 'el-AY-nee'? I like it.
I have a friend Ellen (Ell-un) but my mum has always said Ell-in which grates. I like it though!

Elenie (though I would use the traditional Eleni spelling). As others have said, that way you have all three name options in one.

None of them, every second kid is called a variation of Elle, Ella, Ellie, Ellen, just bloody confuses me now.

Elenie would been my favourite as it could be shortened to Elle but if you start with Elle you have no where to go with it if that makes sense. Really dislike Ellen it just sounds to me like Helen with a dropped h!

Elle. You'd have to put up with people mispronouncing it as 'Ellie', though.

Ellen. A lovely, classic name which, to be fair, the other two options could be nn for...
