Have you ever met an Elena? How did she pronounce it? She pronounced it eh-LEH-na (stress on the middle syllable) I think she was from Poland
How would you pronounce Elena? I would normally pronounce it eh-LAY-na
How would you pronounce Helena? Helen-ah is my preferred pronunciation
Have you ever met a Helena and how did she pronounce it? Hel-EE-na. She was from Ireland.
How do you pronounce Alaina, Elaina? Alaina- ah-LAY-na, Elaina- eh-LAY-na
