I don't understand for the life of me why you'd want the nickname
Hel, to be honest. It sounds like "hell". Not meaning to be rude, I just don't really get the appeal at all. It's something I'd want to avoid at all costs.
Helena itself is lovely, but the Hel-part is actually what is turning me off the name. Same with
Helen. I'd be worried they'd get shortened to
Hel.
I like
Helena best without a nickname. If I had to I would go with
Lene (LEH-neh) or
Leni.
I say hel-eh-na
