Helena
- I like this name because it's traditional with a bit of an exotic feel. I also love the song 'Helena' by My Chemical Romance
- he-LAINE-ah I named my daughter this because it is elegant and classic. Also, there are a few nicknames that can be used: Laney, Lena, Laina
- Pronounced Hel-AY-na - not Hella-na. Pretty,feminine name with an old-fashioned connotation. I think it would work well with a short surname, and no middle name (I'm not big on middle names anyhow).
- I like it pronounced Huh-LAIN-uh. I dislike the HELL-in-uh pronumciation. Also a less used classic. Lots of history with this name. Beautiful and Strong.
