Elinor (English version) vs. Eleanor (French version) vs. Please read & comment thanks

Eleanor is the French spelling and Elinor is the English spelling. I prefer the name pronounced El i nor instead of El a nor but I know that many people think I am trying to be creative with the "i" spelling instead of the "ea" spelling, even though it is the English version of the name. Personally I like how the "ea" spelling looks but I prefer the "i" pronunciation. What are your thoughts on the two pronunciations and spellings. Please comment. I know the "ea" spelling is more popular. Thanks

I am French. I know several Eleanors (its a beautiful name, btw). We spell it Eleanor, but still pronounce it el I nor. So you can spell it the way you want to and still pronounce it the way you want to also.

I have always liked Elinor.

Eleanor is lovely as long as is pronounced without emphasis on the "or". If pronounced like doctor, solicitor etc it is a lovely soft word. EleanOR sounds ugly and harsh to me.
