Title says it all!

[name]Ellie[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Elle[/name], [name]Leni[/name], [name]Nellie[/name], [name]Nora[/name]? Something else?

[name]Nora[/name] is my favorite nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name]!

It’s a toss-up between [name]Ella[/name], [name]Lena[/name], and [name]Leni[/name]. I adore all three!

Mine’s a bit odd. I’ve invented a fictitious etymology for [name]Eleanor[/name] and use the last half of the name, an-noor, to mean “light.” So, [name]Noor[/name] or [name]Norrie[/name].

I’ve got two friends named [name]Eleanor[/name]. I call one of them [name]Ellie[/name] or [name]El[/name], or sometimes Lellie. The other one is strictly [name]Eleanor[/name] - she hates being called anything else. I guess it depends on [name]Eleanor[/name]'s personality, [name]Ellie[/name] doesn’t work for everyone, and vice versa.

The one I know is [name]Eleanor[/name] or just [name]El[/name].

[name]Nell[/name], followed by [name]Nora[/name].

[name]Nora[/name] for me.

[name]How[/name] about [name]Lea[/name]? [name]Lore[/name]? [name]Ellen[/name]?

I adore [name]Nell[/name] as a nickname for [name]Eleanor[/name]. The other option would be [name]Ellie[/name] / [name]Elly[/name].

ottilie · October 8, 2012, 6:58am

All the [name]Eleanor[/name]'s I know are [name]Ellie[/name], and I think that’s very sweet.

I love this name because it has so many nn options. My personal favorite is [name]Ella[/name], followed by [name]Elle[/name].

remix · October 13, 2012, 12:28pm
