[Opinions] Re: Elinor
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Elinor. I agree, it has a very different feel then Eleanor. I think my favorite spelling is Elanor though.
Summer Rose is cute, but I don't think I'd use it. I love Summer Rain though (and Autumn Rain!) In all honesty, if I had a daughter right now and her other parent wanted to use Autumn Rain, I'd probably go for it. :P I think Summer Rain sounds better than Summer Rose (even though the r's mesh together, I think it sounds better. Somehow they sound like SummerRain and Summerose, making Summer Rain more usable and better sounding.)
I don't think it would be an issue. Most non-namenerds would just think the double word name was cute, and some namenerds would too. I knew a Sky for 4 years before finding out that her middle name was Elizabeth and that her mom had originally wanted it to be Nature. If it had been Sky Nature, I wouldn't have known since I didn't know her mn anyway!
