When Paul McCartney first started work on "Eleanor Rigby", it was as "Miss Daisy Hawkins". "Eleanor Rigby" was a song he was not happy with, he would do a little work on it, and put it away, and then do some more to it later on. Paul recalls that the name "Miss Daisy Hawkins" did not suit the song and that he may have picked the name "Eleanor" from working with Eleanor Bron on the movie "Help!" or, alternatively, he saw the name Eleanor Bygraves on a gravestone. Later on a trip to Bristol, he saw the name of a wine merchant on a shop window, Rigby & Evens Ltd. The evolution of the name was complete, and he had his suitably named character and song title.

No. Paul McCartney says that she was not a real person, but that he made up the name by combining the first name from Eleanor Bron, the actress who starred in the Beatles' movie Help!, and the last name from a store in Bristol, England, Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers.And Eleanor Rigby was not the first name Paul used as he was composing. The first lyrics were "Miss Daisy Hawkins..."
Eleanor Bron (actress from many wondeful films amongst them are: TWO FOR THE ROAD, The BeaTles HELP! and the original BEDAZZLED) was chosen by BT in 1985 for her authoritative tone to become "the voice of BT." Ms Bron can still be heard on various error messages such as "Please hang up and try again" and "The number you have dialled has not been recognised".

No, "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles is not a ballad. It is a song that tells a story about loneliness and isolation, but it does not follow the traditional structure or form of a ballad.
