Help[Opinions] Eleanor
I can't get Eleanor out of my head. I was helping a friend come up with character names yesterday and suggested Eleanor, and she ended up using it. I'm so mad now that I didn't think of it for myself. =P
As for nicknames... I used to love Ellie, but with the insane rising popularity of Ell- names, I'm not so sure anymore. Lenore is also an option, but I think of it as a seperate name in itself. How about Nell? Could that work, or would Nelly (which I dislike) be inevitable? Nella, maybe?
Also, a kind of related question, wdyt of Hannelore? Nell could also be a nickname option for it... yesss. :D
Combo suggestions for Eleanor are also very welcome, using names from my list or some of your own. Thanks in advance. :)

I love Eleanor (Eleanora is another gorgeous possiblity)! Nell could definitely work and I don't think it would get turned into Nellie too often. Nora, Lea, and maybe Enna are other possiblities. You could also use Elena or Eleni (EH-leh-nee) as nicknames.
I really dislike Hannelore, sorry. Nell is a cute nickname, though.

I think Eleanor is a lovely name. I much prefer the Nell nn to Ellie for the popularity reason. I could never use it, though, because Eleanor is firmly associated with elbe's little Elanor/Nor for me, now. :)
Lenore is pretty and very Edgar Allan Poe-y. (Oh, literature pun time -- It's not Poe-y; it's Poe-etic! Ah, I crack myself up! :P) Anyway, I like Lenore as well, and I like Leonora, too. I don't think a Nell would inevitably become a Nelly, either. And I agree with the eww to Nelly.
I don't like Hannalore, sorry. It sounds like someone is going to tell a story, the lore of a person named Hanna, if you follow.
Eleanor goes will pretty much everything --
Eleanor Clare
Eleanor Lucinda
Eleanor Claudia
Eleanor Olivia
Eleanor Scarlett
Eleanor Susannah
Eleanor Delphina
Eleanor Antonia
Eleanor Josephine
Eleanor Marguerite

Eleanor is my favorite name for a girl, period. I told someone that it was my favorite once and she said it suited me perfectly becuause it was sweet yet 'ironic' whatever that means. My personal favorite nickname for it is Nora, but Nell is very sweet also. Ella used to be my favorite nickname but I agree with you that all of those El- names are to popular now.
My combos:
Eleanor Scholastica
Eleanor Sebastiana
Eleanor Colette
other ideas:
Eleanor Dinah
Eleanor Daphne
Eleanor Charlotte
Eleanor Olivia
Eleanor June
Eleanor Georgina
Eleanor Aria
Eleanor Aveline
Eleanor Clara
Eleanor Clarice
Eleanor Cecile
Eleanor Bianca
Eleanor Serafina / Seraphine
Eleanor Faye
Eleanor Isolde
Eleanor Juliet
Eleanor Lillian
Eleanor Lucine
Eleanor Lucille
Eleanor Wren
Eleanor Paige
Eleanor Liesel

Eleanor is one of my top five girls names. Love it! It's so classy and beautiful. I could go on and on about it, and have before, but I'll just leave it at that. Nell is just darling. It's so nostalgic and sweet sounding. I also like Ellie, Ella, and Nora, but you could also use (some are a bit of a stretch?) Elle, Norie, Lee, and Lea.
I'm loving Hannelore, it's so pretty. I really like xPrincess27x's recent suggestion of Hannelore Jane.
A few of my fave Eleanor combos using names from your list (I haven't settled on my own perfect one yet) are:
Eleanor Caroline
Eleanor Corrine
Eleanor Hope
Eleanor Josephine
Eleanor June
Eleanor Katarina
Eleanor Lisette
Audrey Eleanor
Charlotte Eleanor
Felicity Eleanor
Katharine Eleanor
Lydia Eleanor
Rebecca Eleanor
Susannah Eleanor
Sylvia Eleanor
