Help[Opinions] Re: Elena
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Elena but I'd pronouce it as eh-LEEN-a unless told otherwise. I love Elaina, pronounced eh-LAY-na, and would use it in real life except that I dislike Eliana and I worry that it would be misread as this a lot. I also dislike the nickname Ellie which some people may use for Elaina.
I have mucked around with the idea of Alaina as that eliminates my problems with Elaina but it doesn't look as nice and I think it would get lost among all of the other A names around ("What did Jess call her kid, again?" "I don't know; Ariana, Amelia, Alana, something like that."). I like Olena but, again, I would pronounce it as oh-LEEN-a. Olaina is stretching things a bit too far, for me.
I don't like Helena at all.
