Yeah, I myself like
Helena a lot more than
Helen.
Helena's very Victorian, but I can see it on a young girl, much more so than
Helen.

A nickname might be Lena...but I just think it should be
Helena w/o a nickname.
You know, there's a town in Alabama named
Helena, named after one of my relatives. I can't remember if her name was
Helen or
Helena, probably the latter because my family had some rather interesting names for girls sometimes...another one was
Parthenia.
