I prefer Ellen, but Elin is nice. It's unique, at least where I live.

I quite like Elin and pronounce it like you do (even though I know that the Swedish original is not the same).

Like any?

Elin is pr. something like AY-lin, it's a bit difficult to describe. The E is acute, like in the French word liberté. I like the name because it's the name of one of my cousins. It's a rather common name in Sweden.

I lubz it! I, too, prefer EH-lin.

I've always like Elin and pronounced it more like "AY-lin" but also as "EH-lin" the way you do.

And now because of Tiger Woods Americans think it should be pronounced "EE-lin." Ick. But I still think it's worth using. Just be prepared to explain the pronunciation.

Otherwise I just prefer Ellen

It's hard to describe how to prn Elin, but I wouldn't prn it quite like Elin, not in Swedish at least. I kinda like it too, even though it's very popular here.
