... when my name is Eleanor?
I know I can but should I?
My OH is Greek so we've been looking at Greek names too and we are in love with Eleni but having second thoughts because of the similarities to my own name.
We already have a Theo.
Btw I go by Eleanor not Nella or Ellie or Elle.
Surname begins with D.

Other possibilities:
Thalia
Lucy
Athena
Tia
Ophelia

One of DD's friends has mum called, Eleni. She's Greek, but think it translates well. Smile

They are different names in their own right aren't they? Yes similar but if you love it go for it!
