[Opinions] Re: Helena "Hel"
in reply to a message by Ani
In English, HEL in a; in Afrikaans, heh LEEuh nah, with nn LEEuh nah.
I prefer Helen, and I've never known one with any nn, Nellie, Hel or anything else. I do know a church minister who chose to name his youngest daughter Eleanor rather than Helen because he was sure his other children would have shortened it to Hel, which he was naturally uncomfortable about!
