We typically say Ella-nore in Australia but - and this isn’t because of the Coronation getting to me - I probably prefer Ellen-uh. The big advantage of Ellanore is the [name_f]Nora[/name_f] nickname (I have an aversion to Ellie). If I was using Ellen-uh, I guess I would use Leni/ [name_u]Lenny[/name_u] as a nn or be like my [name_u]Brit[/name_u] friend and insist on full name…
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: meant Ella-Na (however Brits say it!)

I’d say ell-uh-nuh but still use the [name_f]Nora[/name_f] nickname 
imho in a [name_f]British[/name_f] accent ella-noor sounds a bit forced

I go between them? I’ve known Ella-nore’s and Ella-na’s in the UK. I usually go to Ella-na as I find it rolls of the tongue more easily

Depends on whether you speak with a rhotic or non-rhotic accent. In a rhotic accent (e.g. [name_u]Irish[/name_u], Scottish, most [name_u]North[/name_u] American accents) the R will always be pronounced. In a non-rhotic accent (e.g. most [name_f]English[/name_f] accents [other than certain places like Bristol], Australia, NZ) the R will be silent.
