Re: Lena
in reply to a message by Mom2Jo
It is common and uninteresting where I live, a name you expect a vulgar and uneducated girl to bear (sorry, that's nothing but my feelings about the name), so obviously I don't like it.
Funnily enough, this is also the nn for Elena, my mother's name, but this fact does not make me like it.
