[Opinions] Ellen or Elna?
Ellen has been my favorite name for a very long time (about 15 years) and I'm not really ready to let it go, but Elna has been growing on my a lot lately. Elna is a family name found many times on both sides of my family and just like Ellen it's a form of Helen so Elna and Ellen are basically the same name.
Ellen is quite popular here which is one reason why I'm considering Elna as an alternative and for some reason I think it goes a little better with my other favorites too. Ellen always seems to be the odd one out.
The combo would still be the same; Ellen Astrid Caroline or Elna Astrid Caroline.
So, which one do you prefer? Ellen or Elna?

When I saw Elna, the first thing that came to mind was ulna. Elna Astrid feels a bit awkward to say because of the a's together.
Though both have their individual charm, I like Ellen a bit more (though I like Elsa more than both of them).
I prefer Ellen, and I like the way it looks and sounds better than Elna.

Ellen Astrid Caroline is very pretty, and I much prefer it over Elna Astrid Caroline. I like Ellen, it is a sweet and lovable name. Elna, on the other hand, is a bit rude and far too old-fashioned. It does have a nice outdoors-y vibe, though.

Without a doubt. It goes better with your other favorites and it sounds better in that combo then Ellen.

Elna is interesting, but I prefer the way Ellen sounds. It's a lovely name.
As for combos, I think that Elna Astrid Caroline has a smoother flow than Ellen Astrid Caroline, though. I would probably change Ellen Astrid Caroline to Ellen Caroline Astrid, but if you want to keep it as Ellen Astrid Caroline, I still think it would work. It flows decently enough.

I prefer Ellen. It just sounds softer and sweeter to me, especially since I just read a book with a nice main character called Ellen. :)
Ellen.
Ellen, IMO, is much prettier and "cleaner" than Elna. Elna sounds a little clunky.
