Matilda. I think in the UK (assuming that's where you are) Eleonora will be difficult to spell and you/your dd will have to spell it all the time. Also in all honesty I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce it properly if I just saw it written down. And I think Matilda's cute Smile

I think they are both lovey but Matilda is extremely popular so that would put me off. I think its in the top 50 names for last year?
So id go with Eleonora. Its got better potential for shortening as well.... Elle, Ellie, Leo, Nora... so your daughter can basically choose what she wants to be called according to her taste which is always good!

Eleonora with o instead of a, it’s the Italian and Greek version and we are of Greek and Spanish origin...

You mean Eleanora? Tbh I think it's a bit much. Leonora is better or Eleanor
