Gorgeous name.

I have a slight preference for the spelling Elinor, but great choice either way.

Nice but Ellie is overused imo.

Lovely. But then DD1's name sounds similar so I am biased.

It's nice but every other baby girl is currently called Eleanor or Ellie.

The others are called Amelia.

Lovely name. And so many ways you/she could go by. Lennie would be my choice.

Nellie/Nell is a nice nn for Eleanor, or El. Personally I think it's an excellent choice. Wink it's a classic, beautiful name imho!

Very nice classic name. Would consider it if I didn't have a colleague by the name!

I know a lovely one and I think she always just goes by Eleanor, not Ellie etc. :)

Really lovely. Adaptable, pretty, classic but not boring and suits all ages.
