Elena - I say El-ay-nuh but the two people I know who have this name both pronounce it Ellen-uh
Alena? - never met anyone called this but i'd say Al-ay-nuh
Aline? - a friend's sister is called this and she pronounces it A-leen.
Lena? - i say Len-uh or Lay-nuh

Elena -- uh-LAY-nuh
Alena -- uh-LAY-nuh
Aline -- uh-LEEN (unless it was established that it should be pronounced with German pronunciation, then uh-LEEN-uh)
Lena -- Leh-nuh

Elena

- all the ones I've met (usually from Russia) pronounced in EH-leh-na. I much prefer ay-LAY-na, however.

Alena

- AH-lay-na.

Aline

- ah-LEE-neh or ah-LEEN. I guess ah-LEEN would be more likely.

Lena

- LAY-na. LEE-na is alright, though.

Just notice that when I say LAY-na or AY-lay-na I mean the French é sound. A long e rather than a short eh sound. It doesn't really sound like an ay but that's the closest I can do.
