I've recently begun liking Eleni, too. I prefer that pronunciation.

I love Eleni, but prefer it pronounced eh-LEH-nee.

It's cute! I've never seen it before, but it sounds lovely. I'm not too keen on the spelling, though. If only it didn't end in "I"...

Eleni is nice. There was a character on a soap years ago named Eleni. The funny thing was, she pronounced it eh-LEN-ee (she was Greek in real life portraying a Greek character) and the rest of the cast pronounced it eh-LAYN-ee. So being a strictly Greek name, I'd pronounce it eh-LEN-ee. OTOH, my name (Elena) can be pronounced several different ways since it's known in several cultures.

Guess you can tell I like Eleni paired with Greek names. ;-)

I like it, but spelled Elene instead. I really dislike 'i' endings, they look incomplete. I also like Bear's pronunciation eh-LEN-ee, it's much prettier than eh-LAY-nee.

I really like it. It's pretty and unusual but not weird. I say eh-LEN-ee.

I believe the pronunciation is more like, "eh-LEN-ee."

I love it. Eleni deserves more attention than it gets, at least here in the U.S. What combination would you use? My attempts: Eleni Sophia, Eleni Maia, Eleni Julia, Eleni Cassandra. You like?

I like it very much. I pronounce it e-leh-nee.

I dislike names ending in i, so I like the spelling Elene much, much better. I pronounce it eh-LEH-nee.

I like it.
