Hi!
I was just wondering about the results from my Eleanor poll below.

Just wanted to say I used to nanny for the cutest little girl who was an Eleanor (they nn her Nonie - long O sound). It's a great name!
And just FYI..."For instance Colin! Who would name their baby after that part of the body?": Colin is a boy's name...pronounced Co-lin (short O sound). You are thinking about the word COLON - long O sound, and spelled differently. A colon is the body part.
I am not sure exactly why I dislike Eleanor so much. It brings to mind a mean, stuffy, old schoolteacher for me and I can't really picture it for a little girl.
I also had a boss named Eleanor once, she went by Ele (pron. Ellie) - and I couldn't stand her. Might be part of my bias. :)
I love Ellen, Ellie, Ella, Nora, etc. - just not Eleanor.

>>Just curious - why is Nora torture?<<
I was wondering that as well. I think Nora is beautiful.

"PLEASE don't torture her with 'Nora.'"
Hey! My best friend's name is Nora and she's always loved it. It's different, but simple and recognizable, and with the current popularity of "El-" names, it would be nice for your daughter not to have to be "Ellie B." in every class in school. Plus it's a wonderfully global name -- it's a separate name of Irish, Scandinavian, and Arabic extraction. Pretty cool, IMO.
