Thank you, I’m asking as I like the pronunciation as Eleanor but not keen on the spelling.
I’m wondering if Ellena would be read as Ellen-ah rather then Elena that gets read as E-lay-na....

Ellen-ah

My instinct would be to pronounce it the same as Eleanor, however I would worry about being wrong as I would think if that’s what the parents intended, they would have spelled it that way, so I’d probably ask.

A bit like I would Eleanor (but with an 'ah' sound at the end instead of the 'or'). I was at school with an Elena who wished her mum had just called her Eleanor, because she hated when people pronounced it Elaine-ah or Eleen-ah.
