[Opinions] Nola as a nickname for Eleanor?

Do you think that Nola could work as a nickname for Eleanor? My husband and I are pretty much set on Eleanor, as it honors his mother, but we're looking for a good nickname. Ella is too popular, we don't like Nora very much, and Nell sounds horrible with our surname, so we thought we'd get a little creative. I know we can pretty much call our daughter whatever we like, but we would like her nickname to at least seem like it was derived from her full name.

Thanks!

I think Nola is fine. I have a lot of Eleanors in my family - several Ellies, a Nell and a Leni. Haven't come across a Nola yet, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

Yes, it could work...

but I don't really like Nola, personal bias only.

I think Nola works just fine for Eleanor. Of course, I'm really relaxed about nicknames. ;)

Nonie is my favorite nickname for Eleanor.

Personally, I don't get Eleanor > Nola but then again, who says a nn must be derived from the full name? As long as the three of you are happy, what's the harm?

BTW, I like Eleanor very much. WDYT of Ellie or Elea?

Nola could work, if you both like it.
Also, what about Lena?

Yep, I think that would work just fine.
