Re: How do you prn. Helena and Lena?
in reply to a message by shangrila_la
I only pronounce Helena he-LEE-na because that's the pronunciation used for the Helena River in Perth, Western Australia.
Lena I would pronounce LEE-na, but I could see it being LAY-na as well. It would depend on what it was short for (Helena = LEE-na, Milena = LAY-na).
