Elaina is quite nice. Helen bit too 70's.

I love Helen, but then my name is the gaelic version of Helen!

giraffescantboogie · 05/07/2014 19:24

Helen could easily make a come back int he way Elsie, Mabel, Alfie etc have

Helena would be my vote if you would add the a, otherwise I'd say

Lily
Alexandra
Helen

Helen, then Alexandra then Lily

Helen, fab name and underused.

SocksRock · 06/07/2014 18:08

Alexandra, but I'm biased :-)

Alexandra is my choice! Other two names are too simple for me(( I prefer longer more complicate names;-)

  1. Alexandra - classy and nice name
Helen and Lily in equal second place - Lily is pretty but very common at the moment.

But agree with others, if it could be Helena that would be number one. Helen itself is nice and classic, but a little plain. Helena is gorgeous whichever way it is pronounced!

I like Alexandra for a grown up and Lily for a little girl - maybe Alexandra nicknamed Lily :-) Would that be too bizzare ?
