Can’t decide on a middle name, we like Eleanor Grace but also a bit put off by its popularity as a middle name, any ideas?

Eleanor Alice is lovely :)
Eleanor Jane could be nicknamed EJ, which is cute! Same with Eleanor Joy.
Eleanor Skye
Eleanor Louise (round by me she'd be Ellie-Lou in a hot minute!) - means "renowned warrior" or "famous in battle."
Eleanor Rose - carries connotations of romance, strength, and timeless beauty
Eleanor Mae - short for Margret, which means "pearl," symbolising something rare and precious.
Eleanor Raye - from "ray of light," suggesting resilience and optimism
Eleanor Diana – Roman goddess of the hunt and moon; embodies independence and protection

Eleanor Jane was popular from Tudor to Victorian times in England.

I've met two Eleanor Graces, but all that says to me is that it's a combination that sounds good together. I was nearly called Eleanor Margaret (I'm called something completely different) and my little brother would have been if he was a girl.

I think I quite like Eleanor Frances or Eleanor Alice.
