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.

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.
In general, yes. It's a real person's name, so as long as your poem isn't copying the lyrics of the Beatles' song then there should not be an issue. However, you should probably avoid it, because it's the title of a famous song by the Beatles and that's all anyone will think of when they read it.
