Eleanor Marie vs. Eleanor Rose vs. Eleanor Kate

I have two children currently, Preston James (5) and Meredith Anne (2). I am expecting another little girl soon, and I adore the name Eleanor. My first (and favorite) middle name idea was Marie, but since we call Meredith "Merry" so often, I am worried. I had such a hard time deciding on Meredith’s name, because many people dislike it/think it’s old fashioned, but it ended up being perfect for my daughter and she’s growing into it beautifully. However, it is her name, and I don’t want to use Marie on her younger sister and have it be too similar. Other middle name ideas were Eleanor Rose and Eleanor Kate. She would most likely go by Ellie when she’s little. What do you think? And does Eleanor sound okay with Preston and Meredith?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
