Eleanora

in Baby Names

Yes or no?  I asked my anniversary board over on TN, and a couple of people seem to think that should I name my future child this (should it be a female) that she will be made fun of for her name.  I didn't think of that, likely because no one would really call her Eleanora anyway--I'm sure the nickname Nora would be most often used.

Thoughts?

    El-ah-norah am i saying it right.  It think it a classic name that is not trendy and I think it's not bad.  I just have one problem and that is if you are going to name your child elenanora and then call her nora all the time then name her nora.  It's just a pet peeve of mind.  But I like Eleanora as a name not Nora.  (nora is too popular are here)

    I like it! We had it on our list for awhile, but decided we preferred Elora as a shorter alternative.

    I read this post and then thought about it for a few minutes, said it outloud a couple of times and the decision is...... I REALLY like it. Yes Do you have any middle name thoughts?

    Eleanor/Elinor is rising in popularity. It's not entering the Top 10 any time soon, but it's not unheard of either. I would think that Eleanora falls into that category as well.

    We're going with Elinor nn Nora, and I've gotten more positive than negative feedback.

    I love it.

    I htink NOra is a good nickname too - I really disagree with a previous poster -- Nora is a very common nickname for Eleanor (and similar names). The author Nora Robert's real name is Eleanor.

    It's close to my grandma;s name, Elnora, but I think it looks prettier. Would the pronunciation be Ella-nora (roughly)?

    YES, YES, YES!!! I love Eleanora. It is so elegant and gorgeous. I can't imagine why anyone would make fun of it or HOW they could make fun of it. I love Nora as a nickname. I hope you use this name. It's so lovely!Yes

    I really like it.  I really like Nora as a nickname (it was my grandmother's nickname, full name was Leonora), but I also like that it has so many nickname options should your LO decide later that Nora doesn't fit her.

    Thanks for the responses everyone :)  I'm glad the feedback is positive.

    For a middle name, I'd go with Christine after my mother.  I like the sound of Eleanora Christine.

    Brookelyn, that pronunciation is correct--well, per me anyway :)
