Eleonore is a female first name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Eleonore in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Eleonore in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Eleonore by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Eleonore ranks at #5,598. That means there are 5,597 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Eleonore.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Eleonore in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 208 women and girls named Eleonore, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 208 women and girls named Eleonore live in no more than 6 different states, including for example California, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Ohio. In all other 43 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Eleonore. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Eleonore lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Eleonore and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Eleonore relative to its female population is Michigan. And even there, only one in 111,029 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Eleonore.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter E is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 3.9% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names, by the way, are A, S and M, while U, X and Q are the least common initials of girls' names.
With eight letters, the name Eleonore is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 3.9%, E as the first letter in girls' names is almost as common as all 26 letters on average - and of all the girls' names that start with an E, Elizabeth is the most common.
If your name is Eleonore and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Eleonore, you can simply say:
Elephant
Lion

Orange
