Eleanor - nicknames?

We really like Eleanor for DD2. We prefer the full name but are worried it will get shortened to Ellie / Elle / Ella, which we're not keen on. We like Nell and Nora, but DD1 is Nina, so too similar do you think? Any other ideas? Thanks.

Lainie or Lena might work if you don't want another 'N' name.

My friend's DD always goes by Elle.

I prefer Nell, and it's nice with Nina. If you introduce her as Nell you should be able to get it to stick.

But she could well choose Elle or Ellie herself.

My sister is Eleanor and she’s always been Elle.
