Helene 100%
Edit: As long as it's huh-LEHN (german heh-leh-nuh is also better than Colleen). huh-leen sounds unnatural, and it just occured to me that that must be how some people say it. To make it more clear that it's -lehn, not -leen, I would go with Hélène, maybe. Or in English, Helena instead of Helene if using the German pronunciation.

Helene
Another vote for Helene.
I like both, but probably Helene.
Helene
Colleen
As long as some people continue to pronounce Helene as huhLEEN, I'll choose Colleen. If Helen had been an option, I'd have taken it gladly.
Helene!
Both are good, but I like Helene more. Maybe Helen?
Helene

I don't care for both. I guess I would go with Colleen but it feels so dated to me.
