I love this name. DH and I think it’s stunning.
Eleanor Diana,
Eleanora Diana
(middle is firm, no variations)
Thoughts? Would it be useable?

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] feels like a great fit with your other kids’ names, and I don’t think it’s too close to [name_f]Elise[/name_f]- especially with several other sibling names in the mix, plus the fact that you’re leaning towards [name_f]Nora[/name_f] as a nickname (rather than Ellie). [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] works too but feels a little fancier to me compared to the cozy, down-to-earth style of your other names. Plus I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] flows better with [name_f]Diana[/name_f]!

If you’ll likely call her [name_f]Nora[/name_f] at various times then I’m going to go ahead and make a suggestion to you: [name_f]Annora[/name_f]
Would this be a name you’d consider? It blends in with the names of your other children (Liam, [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], and Clara). It comes across as classy and timeless. It has the nickname [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or even [name_u]Noor[/name_u] at your disposal if you feel like being bolder with the nickname. And it’s different enough from all the sibling names to save you from [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] having very similar beginnings to their names.
[name_f]Annora[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is also just pretty at the simplest level in my opinion.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] would be my choice as I am not a huge fan of FN/MN ending in the same letter, but that is my personal opinion. I do also love [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] but I personally would use the variant Dianne/Diane.
I think [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and Eleanor(a) are fairly distinct and different.
You may be setting up a theme for girls having a prominent “L” sound in the first syllable or to be very specific the second letter is an “L”, that is about all I can see being an issue and it may not be one as you’ve got 5 children and for all I know this is the last so my comment here is null and void.
I do also like the suggestion of [name_f]Annora[/name_f] but I get how names can be similar and have the same syllable you are crushing on (Nora, maybe it) yet no other “Nora” names give the excited/this is the one feel.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is a wonderful name - elegant but understated! I enjoy [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] too but I feel [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] meshes better with your kids. At first I wasn’t sure of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] together but I think they’re distinct enough
I think [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ‘Nora’ works best 
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is stunning.
Tbh, I don’t think it’s too similar to [name_f]Elise[/name_f] to use at a push, but it would bother me personally and I wouldn’t do it. However if this is the name you love I defs don’t think you can’t do it, the names are different enough. [name_m]Just[/name_m] the starting sounds being the same would bother me (and possibly even just the same initial), but that’s my name OCD.
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Norah[/name_f] are both gorgeous nicknames for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], though obvs you couldn’t have [name_f]Elle[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] together.
I also liked another pps suggestion of [name_f]Annora[/name_f] which I think is lovely.
For me, [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] are too similar, sorry! That being said, there are plenty of families who use very similar names for their children, I just wouldn’t do it. It’s tough because I think when we like a certain name, we tend to like other names with those same sounds/letters. There is a whole list of names I love that are very similar to my actual kids’ names that I can’t use now.
I do think [name_f]Nora[/name_f] on it’s own would work well though. And the suggestion of [name_f]Annora[/name_f] is great!
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] 
That’s just lovely! I think [name_f]Nora[/name_f] works as a nickname for both. I personally prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] to [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (especially with Diana), but both are very sweet.
I think [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is lovely, quite similar to [name_f]Elise[/name_f] but not something I’d pick up on unless it was pointed out so I think it’s totally usable with [name_f]Elise[/name_f] but it depends on how you feel.
[name_u]Honor[/name_u] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] would be nice, or [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f], but that’s quite similar to [name_u]Liam[/name_u]!
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] is grievous and [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is stunning - together in theory it’s absolutely beautiful but I’m not sure it has the best sound. Alliteration in names bothers me. Anyway, [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is just as great.
I love the suggestion the [name_f]Annora[/name_f].
I don’t think that Eleanor(a) is too close to [name_f]Elise[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] are fine for sisters, especially with three other siblings in the mix.
