Just that really....

How would you pronounce the name Helena? Also general opinion on name? Would she always be correcting people/spelling it? Am I overthinking this???

Thanks.

He-le-na and yes they will spend their whole life correcting people as it has a lot of variations. It's the best name though Wink
