Lovely, classic, elegant.

Allalonenow · 05/11/2016 22:15

Absolutely beautiful.

Pipilangstrumpf · 05/11/2016 22:16

Nice but Ellie is overused imo.

DramaAlpaca · 05/11/2016 22:16

Gorgeous name.

I have a slight preference for the spelling Elinor, but great choice either way.

CheshireSplat · 05/11/2016 22:16

Lovely. But then DD1's name sounds similar so I am biased.

MrsNuckyThompson · 05/11/2016 22:17

Love it and love Ellie.

treetops104 · 05/11/2016 22:17

I think it's a beautiful name!

Longdistance · 05/11/2016 22:18

I have one Grin

It's nice but every other baby girl is currently called Eleanor or Ellie.

The others are called Amelia.

SpeckledyBanana · 05/11/2016 22:26

Lovely name. Not Ellie or Ella though.

Floggingmolly · 05/11/2016 22:28

Love it.

maisybobbins · 05/11/2016 22:35

Lovely name. And so many ways you/she could go by. Lennie would be my choice.

rainbow99 · 05/11/2016 22:48

Love it 😁

llangennith · 05/11/2016 22:48

One of my favourite names.

Ellypoo · 05/11/2016 22:53

Nellie/Nell is a nice nn for Eleanor, or El. Personally I think it's an excellent choice. Wink it's a classic, beautiful name imho!

Sophronia · 05/11/2016 23:02

It's lovely

Buntysoven · 06/11/2016 00:16

Sorry I really find it clunky. Love Nell though.

JunebabyT · 06/11/2016 00:27

Very nice classic name. Would consider it if I didn't have a colleague by the name!

jaggythistle · 06/11/2016 00:30

I know a lovely one and I think she always just goes by Eleanor, not Ellie etc. :)

Sunnydawn · 06/11/2016 00:30

Love it.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 06/11/2016 00:44

I've liked it since I met one 41 years ago :)

Chinlo · 06/11/2016 00:47

I'm a fan

Bananice · 06/11/2016 01:07

I have one so love it Smile. We call her Nell most of the time

ThePurplePrincess · 06/11/2016 01:08

Lovely but prefer Elena

dailymaillazyjournos · 06/11/2016 01:57

Really lovely. Adaptable, pretty, classic but not boring and suits all ages.
