Baby girl name

The name Eleanor. I love it. But would she be called Ellie or Ella for short? I only ever knew one Eleanor we called her Ellie. But I quite like Ella. Or is it something you can't control?

I picked Tegan Elizabeth for my now 2 1/2 year old daughter.
I hate when people say TAY gan instead of TEE gan.

Tegan means beautiful and is welsh according to the site I found it on.

For the son  my fiance and I  lost...we never knew gender until after he passed on 10/18/13 shortly after his birth.
We called our baby LJ the whole pregnancy.
Leia Judith (said lay uh) for girl , and  Louis John for a  boy.

Well we have a variety of girl names. Lola, Luna, Aurora, Gabriella, Anya and Eleanor. We don't know the sex of baby. But if it's a boy we have a definite name. Luca. I think we won't have a name when it's born haha

with my daughter's pregnancy I changed her name like I changed underwear up until I had her.

Took me 3 days in the hospital to decide on a name.

I like Ella but can't use it now. (my soon to be ex husband's sister just used it)

Ella is a family name for me. (grandma on dad side)
I thought about using Daniella which could honor my mom (Danielle) and my grandma on dad side.

I personally don't like Eleanor.
I think it sounds old.
I like the nickname Ellie though.

I also think of the female chipette named Eleanor who's the fattest male (Theodore) chipmunk's female counter part.

Why not just go with Nora/Norah?
