Helen?

Bit dull, or sweet and simple? Can't quite make my mind up about it...

Some days I love it, then I worry it's really boring. I have a really really odd name myself and I want to pass on the fun to my child, but I also like some of the classics.

Bit confused. Any ideas?

Gorgeous and timeless. Was on our shortlist for a girl.

I think Helen is much more timeless and classic then the more 'trendy' Elena/Helena.

Elena's cute but it'll probably end up as Ellie and I'm not keen on that. But Helen might go on my (very short) list then. Thanks guys.

What about Elena? Ithink it sounds cute, and bit different?

I think it is lovely, a real classic. Helena is also pretty, but I prefer Helen.

I love the name Helena.

Think it is a great name - really underused these days.
