I like Elena, but I LOVE Eleanor. I don't really like a nickname for Elena, and though I could justify a nickname for Eleanor, it's just such a beautiful name that using another name in its stead is almost sacrilege. I would personally use Nell for Eleanor, but that's just a personal preference. I really, really like Ella, but I would use it either as a stand alone name or as a nickname for Elizabeth / Elisabeth.

As for middle names, I'm feeling Eleanor Frances and Elena Isabel today.
