Re: Helena or Elena?
in reply to a message by Murasaki
Helena; it has more depth and seems classier. At the same time, it's not at all prissy. And for some reason, it seems very strong to me. The beginning, even without the same pronunciation, is reminiscent of a woman who is so beyond description that 1,000 ships move because of her - and yet the a at the end changes the name and makes it more feminine.
