My favorite is Elena, by far. The sound is more pleasing, and has less of a frumpy mom vibe to me then Ellen or Elaine. I hate admitting that -- and there is truly nothing wrong with frumpiness, and absolutely nothing wrong with moms! -- but Elena (which I pronounce 'El-ay-nuh' or 'El-enn-uh', depending on how the bearer pronounces it... I've only met Elenas with those pronunciations) has a more beautiful sound to me, and feels younger.
