Elsinor is really great! I love both Eleanor and Elsa and this sounds like a lovely blend, but also doesn't look too made up and artificial and is actually very graceful. Oh and there is Elsinore/Helsingor in Denmark, known from Hamlet, so there'd be a nice Shakespearean connection, which I consider just another plus. Actually Elsinore would look even better, classier and fuller. Elsanor isn't bad either but does look more made up and is less aesthetically pleasing to me.

Elsinor looks nicer, or, better yet, Elsinore.

Hamlet!

I prefer the Elsinore spelling, which is the name of Hamlet's castle in the Shakespeare play. I love it for that reason and I think it's a very usable, lovely name.

Eh, I think it’s weird as a name for a person. I LOVE Ellinor and pretty much all versions of it, but “Elsinore” just makes me think “Shakespeare’s name for Helsingør”.

I like Elsinore spelled this way. It's very pretty.

I like it! I think I prefer Elsinor or Elsinore, but only because Elsanor looks more like "Elsa plus some extra stuff" and Elsinor looks more like a complete indivisible name.

Both good alternatives to Elsa and Elsinore! Elsa is out for me because of Frozen and Elsinore because it's too much of a place name (name of a city near me).

I prefer Elsinor a bit more because it doesn't sound as much like a mashup of two different names.

Elsinore for sure. It's a fun name, I'd be happy to meet one. It's dark and literary because Macbeth (?) was set in Elsinore, which makes it a really good name for a pet.

edit: Hamlet. Leaving in my ignorance

I like the spelling Elsinor the best out of the two, but my personal favorite spelling is Elsinore. IDK if I'd use it on a real-life child, but I'd probably use it for a story character.

Both look completely misspelled to me. I would use Elsinore which looks more "real" to me, because of Shakespeare. I love it as a middle name.
