[Opinions] Helen, Helena or Elena?
I love all of these names, and I would seriously consider naming a kid any of these. If I had to choose, I would pick Helen, since it is #1 on my girl name list. What about you?

To me, Elena is the prettiest sounding of them all.
Helen is the best of them IMO.I like Elena too.
Helena is just okay.
If I were going to name a child a Helen-based name I'd use Lena.
I also like Elaine pretty well.
Helen all the way. Classic, beautiful, no issues at all.
Helena has pronunciation issues - HELina? heLEEna? eLAYna? Not worth a lifetime of explanations.
Elena also has pronunciation issues, and is too close to bland and boring Ellen.
Helena. It's the most complete out of the three.

All three are fine names. Here is my order of preference.1 Helena
2 Elena
3 Helen
Helen for sure, one of my faves.
Helen! It’s the sturdiest.
Even though I prefer Elena, I’d choose Helena. It’s super pretty and underrated.
