Olena

[Zaya71]

What are your thoughts on Olena?
I would pronounce it Oh-len-ah.

I currently really like it, and love Ollie as a nn.

I believe it is Ukrainian, we have no Ukrainian heritage but likewise DD1 has a Scandinavian name and we arent Scandinavian either...

I like it!

I like it. I nearly called my DD Alena.

I would pronounce it O-lee-na. Which is how my Russian neighbour says it, it’s her name.

I quite like it actually.

I'd consider spelling it Olenna to be sure of getting the pronunciation you want. I'd be inclined to pronounce Olena as oh-leen-a.

Olenna Tyrell springs to mind. She was a badass, but I don't especially like the name. It's alright.

I quite like it.
However just to note, with our northern accent it sounds a bit like 'hole in her'

We had Athena on our short list. Had a ds though!

It’s ok

I like it reminds me of the sharped tongued lady Olenna from GOT so it's a thumbs up from me!

Pretty!

It's pronounced Oh-LEE-nah when spelt like that.

I would spell it Olenna if you're after that pronunciation.

I'm not a big fan either way.

I would have said Oleena. I don't like it.
Elenna looks much nicer.
