My ear also tends to love the long "o"s. I initially read this as "o-lee-nuh", which brought to mind the actress, Lena Olin. As a form of Helen, I'm guessing the "e" sound is actually supposed to be short, as in the word, "let"; "o-leh-nuh" sounds much prettier, I think. I really like Helen, so I doubt I would choose this variant, but it's quite nice. Of your combinations, I best like...
