I think of the two names, it is more unique and prettier. FWIW, we call our dd Eloise with no nickname and get a lot of compliments on it. We also get asked a lot if it's a family name.
Both names are beautiful, though. You won't go wrong with either.
Oh, use Eloise It is SO cute, but it will grow up with her as well. It is less common than Eleanor, and it sounds less dated to me as well. I would just call her Eloise, though.
Eleanor is fine, but I like Eloise a lot more. It's really cute and sounds great with Claire with them being both French names. I love your DD's name btw!
I absolutely adore both of these names for their own reasons. They are both on my short list. There is a reason the votes are almost 50/50: you really can't go wrong with either one.
Maybe something that could help us help you make your decision would be if you told us your middle name ideas for each one or both.
That being said, I voted for Eloise. I think you should use it now while it's still #917 on the SSA list, because there is no doubt this one is on it's way up!!!

How do you pronounce Eloise?
I don't care for either. They seem old sounding.
