Hi,
So I think we have decided on a girls name if this baby is a girl.......Eleanor Frances Im not a fan of Ella as a NN and I know you dont need a NN but we will most likely shorten it as we do with our son William to Will and if its a boy Patrick Francis he will get Patty. So I was reading on here someone has a daughter Elena and her NN is Leni which I really like....what are your thoughts? |

The 19th century nick name for Eleanor was either Nell (English) or Nora (Scottish}. I have a lot of Eleanors in my family tree and they were nick named this way.

I'm not into nicknames.
I know an Eleanor who is an Ellie, but why not just call her Ellie! Eleanor is a beautiful name, it doesn't need shortening. Ella is stunning. Patty? Seriously for a boy. I think he might object when he's older, and by then it would have stuck. |

I think the NN for Eleanor have been mentioned but I can't help commenting on Patty - to me Patty is a girl's name, short for Patricia. Paddy is a boys name, or just Pat but that is also a bit girly for me.
If you use Eleanora you can also have Nora as a NN. |

I also don't like nns.
As a PP has already said Eleanor is a gorgeous name My husband's grandmother was Ellen and went by the nn Nell. If you felt you had to use a nn I would use that for Eleanor. This post has been edited by Sassy Girl: 10/01/2013, 10:19 AM |

I like Eli - and at least then you are half way to actually saying their name rather than some of the other derivatives.

Elle, Elly, Ella, Nora or Nell.
To be honest, once she is here you'll probably have a totally different nn for her. My daughter has every other nn than what we thought shed get called lol |
