HelpRe: Colleen or Helene?
in reply to a message by Guest
Helene 100%
Edit: As long as it's huh-LEHN (german heh-leh-nuh is also better than Colleen). huh-leen sounds unnatural, and it just occured to me that that must be how some people say it. To make it more clear that it's -lehn, not -leen, I would go with Hélène, maybe. Or in English, Helena instead of Helene if using the German pronunciation.
