Helen-a
It's my middle name and I don't like it at all!

DoubleBluff · 30/06/2008 09:37

I prefer Hel ayna.
Helen-a sounds too sim to Eleanor

Littlefish · 30/06/2008 09:34

Sorry - forgot.

Helen - a

Littlefish · 30/06/2008 09:34

Lovely name. We considered it for dd, but already had a "Helen" in the family and didn't want to cause confusion.

throckenholt · 30/06/2008 09:34

can be either - both are nice - but maybe you would have to get used to people using the wrong version to start with.
