How do you pronounce these names?

DH wants either as a middle name for DD, named after his grandmother Helen who recently died. TBH I don't like the name but would it be best to just use Helen rather than a foreign version like Helena, Elena, Helene etc?!

I think Nina Helen is actually rather nice.

I quite like Nina Helene Smile

I would pronounce it Heleen

Helene is pronounced Hell-eh-ne with 3 syllables.

So like Helena but Helene with an eh sound at the end.
