    Although I can see where that would get a lot of flack. I still like it.

    Love it. Very classic and timeless. Although I did go to school with one and loved the name, even then, she went by "Ellie" which is cute. Some of the stupid boys in 8th grade took to calling her Elea-wh0re, which was SO ridiculous, but it's still a nice name.

    Love it. DH and I each have a niece named Eleanor--Eleanor Ruby on my side and Eleanor Kaitlyn on his side. One goes by Eleanor or Ella, the other by Ellie. I think it's a really classic, pretty name with good nickname potential. I also have a good friend in her 30s named Eleanor and she goes by Elle.

    I think the name is OK.  I love the name Ellie though.  She might get teased because the name is so old fashioned

    Classic although I would use a nickname for a little girl with that name, like Ellie or Nora.  Thumbs up!

    Sorry if this is too mean for this board, but I would use it if I were birthing a 90 year old woman....

    Sorry, or I could have said NMS.

    I LOVE this name.  I think it is classy, and has the cute nickname of Ellie.  I also like it's connection with French history, since I'm a French teacher (Eleanor of Aquitaine - she was cool!) I would absolutely use it someday, but DH doesn't like it =(

    ETA:  I forgot about the nn Nora.  That's even betterSmile  (That's my name!)

    I'm a fan of classic names so I like it.

    but would use the nn of Ellie or Ella or Elle. 

    I don't like Nora at all.

    I also think of the Beatles song - Eleanor Rigby - so wanted to throw that out there too.

    I prefer Ellen.  I think Eleanor sounds like an older name, while Ellen is not too common but not old sounding either.

    Of course, I'm biased to the name Ellen because that is my name.  But I would much rather have the name Ellen than Eleanor.
