Which one do you like and if you like all, what is your order of preference?

My name is Elena is Eleonora too similar?

We have Spanish-Greek heritage and live in the U.K.

Eleonora is nice, but perhaps a bit long - it has five syllables. You could shorten to Lea, which is nice.
I'm not keen on Matilda, though it's fine.
Ophelia is awful - it can only really be associated with Hamlet -in the UK at least - so either makes you look pretentious or ignorant. And such an unhappy character.

Ophelia is rather fabulous.

Eleonora

My daughter is ophelia, love the name. Love all your choices.

(Our ophelia would have been seven last month but she was stillborn, it's such a beautiful name)

Eleanora is fucking awful. And it’s too like Elena.

Matilda or Ophelia are fine. In I prefer the O fe lia version to the traditional English pronuciation - I’d go with that personally.

Definitely Matilda
