Help[Opinions] Re: Serena & Corinna.
in reply to a message by Elena
Because I'm using Marie to honour my mother (it's her middle name) and Elizabeth to honour my grandmother (it's her middle name but she uses it as her first). Plus, Elizabeth is my middle name as well so I'm partial to it.
I've been told Corinna or Serena are both too close for a sibling to Helena. We're using the He-LAY-na pronunciation. I'll admit that visually they are similar and the endings are the same but other than that they really aren't that close to me. It makes me sad, because Helena has a lot of meaning to me and I don't think my hubbie will let Serena go. Hmm. THis is hard.

Well, if Helena is that meaningful to you, then I'd say it's not the end of the world if Serena and Helena look similar. After all, their names would be pronounced differently and would be rarely listed together. I don't really think Serena and Helena are that close based on the way you're planning to pronounce them. Then again, I have a dd named AnNA and would likely name another dd MariNA and that doesn't bother me one bit.
Personally, if Helena had a lot of meaning to me, I'd let my dh have Serena if it made him happy. Unfortunately, my dh doesn't care for Corinna or Serena. :-(
