Thoughts on Eleanor

Eleanor with nn Ellie?

I feel like there is a time in life when Ellie is too "cute" and Eleanor is too "old" so maybe go with Elle as a nn?

Just my random Friday thoughts...

I love it. I have a friend with an Eleanor and we call her El or Elno.

I like Eleanor a lot, but I can't get on board with the NN Ellie-- I think it's just everywhere.

I DO however love Elle as a NN, or even Nora.

I love Eleanor, and you can use several nicknames----Elle, Ellie, Ella, Nora...

Oh my gosh!  Why did I not think of Ella!  I love that name but I like it better as a nn for Eleanor!

(FWIW, I hate Nora.)

So over Ellie. And everything it's a nn for.

Lovely! I think that Ellie is a better NN than Elle.

It's beautiful as is. I had the sweetest great aunt Eleanor.

I am fine with Ellie but dislike Elle immensely.

My Elinor goes by Nora. I get compliments on both names all the time.

I like Elle and Ella, too, but not Ellie.

I hate it.  I also hate the nn Ellie though.

I love Eleanor! My husband wants Nora, which I like, but I'd love it to be a nn for Eleanor. He's not so sure. It's so sweet.

I agree that Ellie is a juvenile nickname, though it's very cute for a little girl.

We are naming this baby Eleanor.

 Dh loves the nn Ellie, although I'm not crazy about it, but I know she's going to wind up being Ellie.

 That's why I wanted the full name so she had that for when she gets older.
