Eleanora
Elenora
Ellenora
Ellinora
Elinora

I think we settled on this name for our daughter but im torn on the spelling. I know most people will probably say Eleanora is best but I just worry some people not familiar with the name Eleanor will mispronounce it as Ell-ee-a-nora and it’s pronounced Ella-nora so im leaning towards a different spelling. Does any of these stand out as the best way to spell it?

Eleanora. At 4 syllables it will be shortened and Ellie names have been done to death.

Just Eleanor is better.
