Any ideas on middle names for Helena out there?

I'm complete stuck for middle names.

We would be pronouncing it "Helen-a" rather than "huh-lay-nah".

Helena Hope sprang to mind.

Any other clues to your style? Do you have connections to a particular country? Or prefer girly type names? Or nature names?

Off the top of my head

Beth
Joy
Jane
Clare
Chloe
Elizabeth
Charlotte
Robyn
Louise

The only 'correct' middle name for Helena is Jane.

A perfect combination! Wink

IsadoraQuagmire · 03/05/2015 15:12

Well, my mother's name is Helena and HER middle name is Rosa Smile

Handbasket?

I do like Helena Jane/ jayne, but am reluctant to use it as it goes so well with another name that I've shortlisted and would use for dc2 if we don't use it this time, so I almost want to "keep" Jane free if that makes sense.

NotKay, I'm Welsh with Irish ancestry, and other names I love are Genevieve, Lara, And Alina. We're planning to use nicknames Lena or Leni for Helena.

I have name changed to inform you that my name is Helena May Grin and while I don't like Helena, I do like them together.

I was also born this month - just. Who knows if I might have been Helena June.

Are you due soon?

My nan was Constance Helena (Nelly) Grace. I like 'older' names.
