Re: How do you prn. Helena and Lena?
in reply to a message by shangrila_la
I think Helena can be pronounced one of 3 ways: Helen-ah, heh-LEE-nah and heh-LAY-nah. I prefer the last one, but I also like the first one. So if I were to name my dd Helena (and prn. it heh-LAY-nah), I might occasionally call her Lena, prn. LAY-nah. But if I just saw the name Lena, I'd automatically assume it was LEE-nah. Confusing? :b
