[Opinions] Re: Eleanor?
in reply to a message by HarderToBreathe
I plan on using Eleanor as a way to honour my sister Ellie. I really like it but would never use it as a first name because of the somewhat unavoidable nickname of Ellie which would get confusing.
I think Eleanor and Eleni are very close, though I suppose it's up to you and personal preference on whether they're too close. Based on sound and not heritage, you could definitely pass Eleanor off as "honouring" Eleni.
Eleanor is not old lady-ish! Well, not where I am anyway in England. It's rated inside the top 100 here at the moment (#63 I think), and I know more young - twenty and under - Eleanor's than I do older "grandmotherly" ones.

Top rated = Adelaide / Elsa and Louisa :)
Bottom rated = Brianna and Kacey (g) :(
