HelpRe: Bridget.
in reply to a message by Siri
I really want to like it, because St. Bridget was pretty badass, but the associations with RL Bridgets I have known haven't yet faded. D: Maybe in a few years.
I think I'd prefer Bridget Helen, honestly. Or really, Bridget Helaine, but I've yet to meet anyone else as fond of Helaine as I am. :) With Bridget, Helena just feels a little too now for me, while Helen grounds the name more.

Arg, that name was ruined for me...
The first time I saw Helaine, the girl spelled it Halyna. Kre8iveness... *glowers*

How is Helyna supposed to sound like Helena?
I know what you mean about over Kre8iyfnesse :D
I mean, wouldnt Helyna be pronounced HEL-yna?
Besides, I think Helaiena is much more pleasing to the eye.

It was pronounced heh-LAYN-uh, which is what I thought Helaine was, too.
But, remember the rule: It's a 'y', and therefore you can use it as any sound you want! *rylls eyys*
ETA: Oops, I just saw Array's post further up. I guess it's not quite the same. My default German pronunciation of everything made Helaine into "heh-LAYN-uh".

Helaine
You could totally sell me on Helaine. I love -aine names, namely Germaine and Romaine. It doesn't take a lot to argue that Helaine is considerably more attractive than Germaine. :-)

I haven't met any Bridgets, thankfully
Part of the reason I'm so in love with the name at the moment is because of the character Brigette on Medium - I could so see my daughter being that way!
Helena: X prefers it. Bridget is a name he's meh on and if I really wanted to use it I'd have to give him something in the bargain. Bridget Helen is pretty, especially with his last name. Oh well.
