Helena has pronunciation issues. HELina? heLEEna? eLAIna? I much prefer Helen, which is neat and sweet and tidy and classic and which I'd use happily. I'd rather use Nina than Helena. When I was about nine, I thought that Nancy and Nina would be brilliant names for twins - I no longer do! Nancy and Helen would be nicer. Nina seems flimsy now, more like a nickname than an independent name.
