Lena pronunciation?

Would you say Lay-na or Len-a?

Not bothered how it should be pronounced just want to know how you would assume it's pronounced.

Cheers :)

Lay-na.

I would assume that 'Lee-na' would be spelt Lina.

I would assume Lee-na, but wouldn't be surprised if it was Lay-na IYSWIM.

Prefer Lay-na

I know two lenas - they are both called Lee-na.

Hmmm that's a few different ways! Think that's put me off it now...

Closer to Lay-na, but maybe more like Leh-na
