There is a river about 5 minutes' drive from where I live called the Helena River. It was named after a Helen, but it is only ever pronounced he-LEE-na. Because of the river (plus two suburbs and three schools that include the river's name in their name), that's the pronunciation I prefer.

HEL-en-ah is okay, but I don't like he-LAY-na
