How would you pronounce Helena?

[Icecappedpinetrees]

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.

Like this ^ (Helen with an a on the end).
Dc2 would have been Helena if a girl. Lovely name.

I only ever heard it as Heleena when I was young (in Scotland), but in time I noticed most other cultures didn't say it that way.

I know two Hel-AY-nas and one HELL-ena. Not met a Hel- EEN-a yet.

Helen-a

I have known:

He-LEE-nuh
HELEN-uh
Hel-AY-nuh

I know one HELenna and one HelLAYna. I am always calling the both HelLAYna and getting funny looks from HELenna's mum

All the variations of Helen that I know have the nn Helly.

I think it's a nice name pronounced either way

I know 3 people with this name and they all pronounce it differently:

Helen-a
Hell-ay-na
Hell-ee-na
