Re: How do you pronounce these names???
in reply to a message by hhhhhmmmmm
Elena
- all the ones I've met (usually from Russia) pronounced in EH-leh-na. I much prefer ay-LAY-na, however.
Alena
- AH-lay-na.
Aline
- ah-LEE-neh or ah-LEEN. I guess ah-LEEN would be more likely.
Lena
- LAY-na. LEE-na is alright, though.
Just notice that when I say LAY-na or AY-lay-na I mean the French é sound. A long e rather than a short eh sound. It doesn't really sound like an ay but that's the closest I can do.
