[Opinions] Ellanor
So I know this girl who goes by Ellie, and I remember her once saying what her name was and I found it cool (thinking it was Eleanor, and I have never met one before)... Today I discovered its spelt Ellanor, which I guess sounds nice, but for me it kind of ruined it.What are the general thoughts on this spelling, and have you ever had a situation where a certain spelling of a name bothered you?

Meh. I really like Elanor (it's my favorite spelling), but the extra L totally changes it. Ellanor is more like an awkward-looking mashup of Ella and Eleanor.And yes, I've met many people whose names I would have liked if only they were spelled differently.

First impression: What's wrong with Eleanor?
I don't think Ellanor is that bad, I just don't see the point of doing it. It's pronounced the same, people know how to spell and pronounce Eleanor..so, why?
