Baby Names
Eleonoor or Eleonore
AstridGuest ·
Hi!
We were looking for a nice, classic Dutch name. I only knew Eleonore (ay-leh-oh-nor) in French and didn't find it that pretty. When my husband suggested Eleonore (ee-lee-oh-noor), I was totally sold. We couldn't agree on the spelling; we both think Eleonore looks nicer, but I'm afraid her name will be pronounced in French. Eleonoor feels less classic and also less poetic. What do you think?

I'd pronounce Eleonore as Ee-lee-oo-no-ruh, so if you're looking for your pronunciation, I'd go with Eleonoor. -

I agree with Anouk! Sws is a beautiful name, by the way. Eleonor could work too! -

Thank you so much!! Will Eleenor then not be pronounced with a short "o" earlier? -
