Help[Opinions] Re: Eleanor?
in reply to a message by Bee123
I see what you mean about Ellie (but it is so intuitive isn't it). I really like Nellie/Nelly or Noor as a nn.
Eleni is the modern Greek form of Helen. I was named after my Aunt Ellen (which comes from Helen). She was named after her grandmother (my great grandmother), who came from Greece, named Eleni (not sure if their are any beyond that). So we have a long line of Elenis/Helens/Ellens in my family (my cousin's middle name is Ellen too). Eleni is one of the most popular names in Greece!
Do you think that Eleanor is too close to Eleni? I think they sound pretty different but IDK.
