I've always thought it was beh-LEN. But I've never met anyone with the name, so I'm not positive.

I had a teacher last year with that as her last name (except I think it was spelt Belan) It was pronounced bell-an, so Belen would probably be bell-en... at least that's how I'd pronouce it.

Not if it's Spanish
Belén, like it says when you click the link, would be pronounced bay-LAYN. In English though I'd agree that it would rhyme with Helen.

No, it wouldn't be
AY is "ei". The letter E makes an "eh" sound, never AY--for it to be bay-LAYN it would have to be spelled Beilein.

Well
The "e" sound in Spanish sounds like a cross between "eh" and "ae" as in ape. It sounds like A with your mouth not opened all the way. So you're both right! According to me!
