Need some MN help with Eleanor

DH and I are finally agreeing on first names.  Yay!  When I suggested Eleanor, he said he really liked it!  Fantastic!  Eleanor is such a classic name!  Anyway... having a little trouble with a MN.  Our last name starts with "G," ends with an "L" and is two syllables.  It would end up being:

Eleanor ______ G__________l

Any suggestions would be great!!  TIA!

    Also, I tend to be a little bit more partial to 1 syllable MNs and am having no luck thinking of any, but again, any suggestions would be great!

    ETA: didn't see your one syllable response. Hmmm...maybe Ann or Rae? The one syllable names are harder! LOL

    Are you looking for 1-syllable names? I know Rose is a common mn now, but it goes so well with traditional names like Eleanor!

    We're using Catherine as a mn for Elinor, but for one-syllable names, Jane and Kate/Cate are 2 that I like.

    I'm also a fan of single-syllable MNs with longer FNs...here's a few that got tossed out when we were talking about using Eleanor as a FN:

    Brooke

    Wren

    Sage (yes, we were looking at a nature-theme here...this was one of DH's suggestions)

    Others that would go well:

    Jane

    Lynn

    Mae/May

    Kate/Cate

    Ruth (DH's grandmother had this combination)

    Leigh

    Jean

    Rose would fit, but it tends to be over-used as a MN because it fits so well with so many names.

    If you're into "virtue" type names, Hope could make a nice(and less-easy-to-make-ironic) alternate to the over-used Grace...

    I'm partial to Eve, but wouldn't use it in this case because I'm not a big fan of alliterative name combos.
