Help[Opinions] Re: Elin
in reply to a message by Jagoda
EL in and EH lin sound the same when I say them. :) I've always liked it: neat and light on its feet, unlike lumbering Arabella! I know lots of Elins of all ages and a few Elens too - popular name in N Wales.
eta for random nerdery: like Alys/Alis & Alice, it was also a common medieval spelling of Helen.

I thought it might be pretty popular in Wales but I hadn’t checked and I’ve never met anyone with the name! I didn’t know it was a medieval spelling of Helen, though - I guess because H’s weren’t really pronounced? Thanks!
