Does Elinor look misspelt to you?

[misslucy92]

Just wondering.

Agreed! Was just about to write the same!

I'd assume it was the Welsh spelling.

No, but one of my favourite authors as a child was Elinor Brent-Dyer, and like many others here I think of Elinor Dashwood.

Yes.

I think of it as the more historical, older spelling of Eleanor, not sure why, maybe the books links as mentioned.
I think either version is pretty.

No, it's not an uncommon spelling. Pretty.

No I doesn't and I prefer this spelling

Nope, although I am Welsh. Same with Elin. Prefer both to Ellen and Eleanor

Yes.

It sounds like a medication.

No

Seen it spelt that way before.

Yes

No, as I've seen it spelled like that before eg. Sense and Sensibility

No. I grew up on the Chalet School books and I knew that spelling best.

No - tt always makes me think of Sense and Sensibility

No. It's fine. I didn't know it was Welsh though. I thought it was french in origin.

Queen Elinor is Merida’s Mum in Brave

Yes

No, because I know it's Welsh.

Elinor and Eleanor both equally standard spelling to me.
In the first I'd pronounce the I, el-IN-ore. In the second I'd pronounce the E, el-E(a)N-or. So I guess it depends how you want it pronounced.

No, but I'm a Chalet School fan!

Not at all - it's a beautiful spelling.

Yes. Eleanor.

Both spellings of the name are ‘Austen-approved’:

Elinor Dashwood
Eleanor Tilney

Both are beautiful

It’s a Welsh spelling. It’s not spelt wrong.

Looks fine to me. I like it.
