I have difficulty with Helena, because of pronunciation. The river that was nearest to me growing up was the Helena River, pronounced hǝ-LEE-nǝ, so that's how I think it should be pronounced.

Turns out, literally everywhere else it's either hǝ-LAY-nǝ or HEL-en-ǝ.

I'd love to use Helena with the river-in-Perth pronunciation, but just won't fly in the outside world.
