Why are some names that are similar to, or in the same theme or feeling as Eleanor? It's my friend's current fav but she's looking for other inspiration. Thanks!

El- names I like:
Eliora Elowen Elspeth - A bit more old-fashioned and a little more of a statement than the related Elizabeth. Other E- names that sound like they go with classic Eleanor: Emmeline Esther Emily - very popular but I like it. Esme, and Esmeralda Evangeline, though it's too religious for me it's very pretty. Enid - for the brave. Similar al- names Alana/Allana/Alannah Alice Other names altogether that just have a similar classic feel/sound to me and "fit" with Eleanor Rosamund, Rosemary Violet Vivien Caroline Zelda Hazel Leora and Leona Lillian Valeria and Veronica Opal |
