5.Eh le na

Ell AY nah (but I live in Spain).

If you want ELL en ah it should be spelt "Eleanor" i think. Or Helena but people would pronounce the h.

Elaine-a, think this is like your 1 and 3 (which sound the same to me when I say it.

5 ?

Like Eleni but with an A

Eleanor is ell-en-ore

1 and 3 sound the same to me?

I say it Ell-AY-nah

The only one I know pronounces it somewhere between 1 and 3z

1/3

5 was closest for me, Eh Le Nah

1/3

Elena- Ell-ay-nah

Eleanor - Ell-ah-na or Nor

Can see why everyone thinks differently!

3

Ay-lane-ah

Ell at ner

Posted too soon!
Ell ay ner
Eleanor I would pronounce Ellen or

Elle Lay Na

I agree, 1 and 3 are the same and that’s how I’d say it.

Well I always thought it was El-ay-na but in fact the only one I know pronounces it E-len-a with the emphasis on the second syllable.

Elaine-a, as a PP

El-AY-nah

YEL-en -a But that’s only because I have a Russian friend who pronounces it something like that.

Elaine-a. So 1/3
