JJ, yes, it's a funny story.  During the family's immigration (emigration?) from Canada to the US, the government official handling the documents stuck Anne's first name in the middle name box, and put her middle name as the first name.  She ended up keeping it that was, and was Eleanor from then on.

Oh,   I see now there was another query on them and it has this and more

adding: She was called Eleanore by her parents in Canada's census, so I'd bet to avoid confusion, although forenamed after her mother, she was called Eleanor ...

JJ, true, but this one was started first, so I don't feel bad about commenting here.
