What's the general feeling on Elena? Is it an old lady name? It's a totally different style to DDs name, which is a 'surname-first name' but that not too big a deal is it?

Italian. Only potential problem I can see is that people could say ELLena or elENNa or elayna.

There's hundreds of them in DC's school. Either Eeee-layna or Eee-lin-ah or Eleanor depending on origin of parents.

I don't see it as an old lady name at all.
