Schenna
I was going through family pictures and found one with a relative named Schenna Hiene. She seems to have been born around 1860 or 1870. I figure the name would be pronounced SHEN-nuh.What do you think? Combo suggestions?

It sounds pretty!

If it really is Dutch, like you say on the facts board, it is pronounced SKHEN-nah: (KH being the CH sound in scottish "loch"). I don't really like it, I think I'd go with something a bit simpler like Senna.

It's interesting, I sort of like it. I think it would be prettier pronounced SHEY-nah, but it probably is closer to SHEN-uh.
