Forgot to add that anything with a Julie in it is awful imo

Helena

Helena. Juliet isn't my favourite and is too Romeo and Juliet.

Claricestarling1 · 07/12/2017 21:19

Helena!! 😍

mistermagpie · 07/12/2017 21:17

Plus Juliet is way nicer!

mistermagpie · 07/12/2017 21:16

I know three people whose name is spelt 'Helena' and all pronounce it differently. One is Helen-a, one is Hel-ee-na and one is Hel-ay-na. I wouldn't use the name for this reason.

Helena!

Both nice, but I prefer Juliet.

DramaAlpaca · 07/12/2017 21:14

Juliet, as long as it's pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable so not like Juliette.

I like Helena too.

JollyGiraffe · 07/12/2017 21:11

Both are lovely.

I really couldn't choose between them Blush

Helena

Olivelor · 07/12/2017 21:09

My choice would be Helena too.

Helena

Helena. Really dislike Juliet, sorry.

I really love Ellene, which is quite similar Smile

Helena

Smoliver · 07/12/2017 20:19

Both are gorgeous but I do have a soft spot for Helena

Muddlingalongalone · 07/12/2017 20:18

Juliet - also like the Juliette spelling.

SleepFreeZone · 07/12/2017 20:18

I like both.

Mulch · 07/12/2017 20:16

Helena

Justmuddlingalong · 07/12/2017 20:16

Pronounced He-le-na or He-lay-na?

Beek84 · 07/12/2017 20:15

I think both are lovely. Good choices! Sorry not much help...if pressed my vote would go to Helena

Juliet!
