Sylvaine is nice! I think I like it better than Sylvia.
A couple we know just named their daughter Wilhelmina "Willa". I love it so much!
I have a soft spot for Nellie, so Nella is tempting, but I feel like it doesn't have enough gravitas. Helen is a bit stiff to me. What do you think of Helaine or Helenne? I like the French pronunciation, but I don't want to use accent marks in America. It would be too hard for people to understand.

I like Helene pronounced hel-ENNE (but I don't really like how it looks with two n's).
And I like the sound of Helaine but not sure if I like the spelling/look.
Helina or Heline might be good too.
I also like Helena.

I always thought of Helene with the Greek pronunciation like Hel-ee-nee. An early interest in Greek mythology dies hard! I want to like Helena, but it's hard to imagine using it when there are two major pronunciations that people seem to use equally.
