Help[Opinions] Eleanor?
I forgot one name on my list of crushes I posted about earlier.
Eleanor. I'm thinking about using Ellie, Nellie, or Noor as nicknames. I really like that it is classy and timeless. I have 2 issues though:
1. My name is Eleni (ee-lehn-ee). Is Eleanor too close to Eleni/would it seem obnoxious to use a name so similar to my own? My name in various forms has been used for 3 generations, so I like the idea of passing on the tradition, but since Eleanor isn't related to Ellen/Helen/Eleni, and it sounds so much like my name... Does it work?
2. Every time I mention Eleanor my mother always says, "Eleanor, you can't possibly like Eleanor. It's so old lady sounding. You can't possibly name a baby such a not stylish name." Is Eleanor too old sounding. I've stopped asking her about names since our styles are so different, but still this comment about Eleanor bothers me. WDYT?
Thanks
