…. My mum HATES it. Which makes it lose its shine a bit.

If we love Eleanor, what names of a similar fashion would you suggest?

No middle name, 2 syllable surname beginning with S.

Thank you!

Eleanora?

If she's that triggered by a name, let her take the money she's spending on your hair and spend it on therapy. 🙄and if you do choose a different name, don't ask, just use. Your baby, your name choice.
I always liked Elinor (long or ie. more) but that's splitting hairs a bit.
Leonie/ Leona or Theodora have a similar vibe but I hope you keep Eleanor in mind if you really like it.

Eleanor is a great name, regardless of what your mum thinks. Names of a similar ilk include Imogen, Harriet, Naomi, Madeleine.
