I would say it as Lee na. I quite like it, but I think of it as a really granny name. My nana seemed to have at least 10 friends called Lena

For me, a long e- sound, not as in been, but as in French été, or German Lehrer.

I would have said Lee-na until 7 weeks ago when started watching The Returned (amazing by the way!!) Now I'd probably say Lay-nah.

I would say Lee-na

lee-en-a but I am Scandinavian

Lee na unless short for madalena then Len na

Layna

Lay-nuh

I use this as a shortening of my name and say it Lee-na, which is what the majority pronounce it as but a few have said Lay-na

I'd say Lena to rhyme with cleaner.

I prefer Laynah (and this is on my list of girls names) however when i read it i do usually read it as leena which is weird. I'd say go by whatever you prefer

Lee-na.

I think Lay-nuh would be more usual in other European countries.

My Granny was a Lena pr. lee-na, it was short for Ellen.

Old thread, but I'm interested in this too. I'd pronounce it as Léna to rhyme with Jenna.

Lay-nuh.

If you want LEE-NA I'd spell it differently. Line is how it's spelt in Denmark.

leena

I know one from Portugal

She pronounces it lay na

Lay-nah

Lee-na

Known a few over the years, all have been Lee-na

Layna

Lehna with the emphasis on the Leh.
