It's not tacky at all. There's no AY sound in Helena (my pronunciation). Nicknaming a Helena 'Lainie' is like nicknaming a Persephone 'Lainie'. It makes no sense to me at all and I'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense to most people. It's not a nickname like Buttercup that I would use when we were alone, she will actually be called that most of the time. And I don't want to make it hard on her. I would hate to have an illogical nickname that I constantly had to explain to people.
