[Opinions] Elena?
Wdyt of the name? I like it prn Eh-leh-nah not really e-lay-nah. I don't live in the US, so I think I can get away with the prn. Thanks. :)

I don't mind it, though I prefer some of your other names more!

I pronounce Helena like HEH-luh-na and Elena like uh-LAY-na. I'll never ever use it though, I have some bad personal connections with a girl called Aleyna, so...But it's a pretty name. It's on my pnl.

Personally I pronounce is Eh-LAY-nah. I'm from the UK and I asked my mum and my sister and they said they'd pronounce it the same as I do. I like the nickname Lena (LAY-nuh) for it.
It's been on my list for a while, it's not really high up and I mostly forget about it, but when people bring it up I remember that I really like it :)

I think its pretty and feminine, I actually like it a lot. With that pronunciation I would spell it Eleanor, but Elena does look nice.

I like it a lot. I'm from the US and I say ELL-en-uh. I do know one who pronounces it the Spanish way (el-AY-nuh), but that's the only time I've seen that prn IRL.

Obviously, I like it very much (any pronunciation) and think it complements the names of your other children -- especially with Isabel.
