[Opinions] Helene?
What do you think of the name Helene?
I always loved Helena and I still do. But Helene has been growing on me. I know it seems L heavy but what do you think of Helene Lynette?

I like it, but I definitely prefer Helena. Helena has always been one of my favorite girls' names. I'd be careful, though. I'm convinced Helena is the next Ava in terms popularity. In December my Portuguese professor named her daughter Helena (though it's a common name in Brazil and she pronounces it the same as 'Elena'), and now there's a recent celebrity baby Helena because I saw the other day that Kelly Rutherford named her daughter Helena. I just think it's going to catch on soon here.That being said, I think Helene Lynette is actually a better sounding combo that Helena Lynette. With Helene it doesn't seem quite as L-heavy as with the Helena. Helene is actually growing on me over the course of this post, lol. It's soft and feminine.
