Re: Helena
in reply to a message by Martha
That's how they pronounce the city in Montana.
But aside from that I never know how it's supposed to be pronounced, and that right there is a deal-breaker for a name. Same with Lucia, and I actually like one pronunciation of that one.
So no, I'm no fan of Helena. I like Elena a lot though.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
