Re: Helena and Peter
in reply to a message by hyacinthus
I totally agree about Peter! I used it for my son without hesitation, and it's been a very good choice in every way.
Helena is nice if pronounced your way ... but would it be? I love the Shakespearean echoes and the gracious elegance of it, but I also love the uncomplicated and uncontroversial Helen, and that's the version I'd use.
Helen Frances is good; Helen Susannah is one that I like (Susannah is a family name).
