Ellie: Eleanor or Elouis

There has been some discussion on this blog as to the name of the "Other" woman in Jughead. Yeah, yeah her name is Ellie, but what's that short for. Barry brought up, and I agreed, it was probably Elouis. Which goes into the whole Daniel's mother issue, however the newest 'Lost' Watch from cleveland.com says:

Easter eggs included the name of the female Other, Eleanor (Ellie), which can be translated as "the Other" in Occitan.

So if this is true then Ellie is short for Eleanor and the woman is in fact not Daniels mother. I'm still not convinced, I need move evidence of this woman's name. Is it out there yet? If anyone knows please let us know.

Barry says:

i'm sticking to my guns. ellie is elouise. "you just couldn't stay away" from ellie to daniel. clearly a mother's disdain for her son meddling in some bigger picture that both she and widmore are long-time components of...the both of which still don't seem to have a firm understanding nor control of to this day (meaning even in their older age)

Response:

I like that your sticking to your guns. I would say at this point, while unsure, I'm still leaning toward the fact it is Daniel's mother. I agree with you on the you just couldn't stay away line, but I'm not convinced he knew that it was his mother. Until we get definite answer on what Ellie is short for we just wont know. I'm curious if they will even go back to that. What's your take on Widmore being Daniel's father? I'm certainly not convinced on that one.
