It's fine, nothing wrong with it really. And I don't like it, because of that.
I just can't muster up any excitement for Elizabeth at all, and Helena is starting to get on my nerves for being so blandly inoffensive.

Helen Eliza would be my preferred variation.

Very uninteresting.

I absolutely dislike Elizabeth and I find Helena a trying-hard-but-failing version of Helen. I'm not normally so blunt, but I would totally call this name dull.

Standard issue.

Helena is probably safe as a mn; pronunciation issues would put me off using it as a fn (heLAYna? HElina? heLEEna? Not worth it.)

---

I find Elizabeth better as a mn - I used it for my daughter. As a fn, it is inconveniently long and too many of the obvious nns are not to my taste. So, I would seriously consider naming a daughter Helen Elizabeth.

i think it's nice, though Elizabeth Helen or Helena Elizabeth would have flowed better
