Which is nicer? Of, if you don't like them, why?

Helena for me

How are you thinking of prounouncing Helena?

If Helen-a, I like that best.

If Hel-ee-na or Hel-aye-na, then I prefer Louisa.

Helena
Louisa is a bit dull, not as dull as Louise, but still dull.

I really like both of them, I find it hard to chose a favourite between the two. To me Louise and Helen are both dull.

Helena.

I Love Louisa, very classy! And Loui is just adorable.

Helena.

Both are lovely. I always think girl's names ending with an 'a' are prettier and also more sophisticated when grown up.

Louisa is beautiful. Smile

TBH I'd prefer Helen or or Louise. If you're set on the a, then Louisa. I find Helena hard to say for some reason.

Also she'll be for ever saying "it's Helena, not Eleanor".
