Eleanor Cardell: Hello. My name is Eleanor Cardell. I'm named after my mother's mother, my grandmother. Her name is also Eleanor. And my mother initially didn't want to name me after her mother, but my dad loved the name so much that he insisted. Eleanor does tend to have a lot of nicknames, but I've never gone by one and I don't like any of them. I'm always Eleanor, never Ellie or Elle or Nellie or anything like that.
