Help[Opinions] Re: Elena
in reply to a message by Lily
Personally, I didn't even know it could be pronounced ELL-leh-na until I joined this site. I've always pronounced it eh-LAY-na. I was a figure skater for many years and came across/saw many Russian Elenas who pronounced it my way.
I don't think it's the obvious pronounciation, though, and I do think she might have to correct people often.
If it were me, I'd just go ahead and use Elena pronounced eh-LAY-na. It isn't so much of a stretch and once she corrects someone once, hopefully they won't need to be told twice.
