Help[Opinions] Re: Bella or Helena?
in reply to a message by olivia__
I like Helena. I think it sounds elegant but it's still simple and fairly strong. It definitely reminds me of a Midsummer Night's Dream (and while the character isn't particularly interesting, the feel of the play in general rubs off on the name Helena for me).
Bella is overused to the point of sounding meaningless. It's also just "pretty" which is boring/cliche at best and toxic at worst when it comes to naming an actual person. I think of Bella Swan and just the whole concept of faceless YA damsels.
