HEL-eh-nah, definitely.
Heh-LAY-nuh.
Loving Theodore and Chloe!
He-LAY-na. I can't stand the others, but LOVE that one.
I say he-LEH-na (and I hate the name, btw. The only ways I like the sound is as Elena or Elaina, in which case I spell it like that too). I don't really know if it's correct, though.
It depends, either Hel-Ay-nuh or Hel-uh-nuh.
hel-LAY-na

I tend to pronounce it HEL-en-a at first, but heh-LAY-na and heh-LEE-na are perfectly fine as well.
I say both HEL-en-uh and hel-EN-uh. I kind of switch back and forth.

he-LEE-na
he-LEE-na is probably the least common of the three accepted pronunciations, but it's the one we use most commonly in Perth, Western Australia, as it's the name of one of our rivers.

It can be "properly" pronounced one of 3 ways: HELL-en-ah, heh-LAY-nah or heh-LEE-nah (and maybe even add eh-LAY-nah on there...). I like heh-LAY-nah the best but HELL-en-ah is a fairly close second.

Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is simply calisthenics with words.

I'm one of those stupid people that can never decide :( Usually it's he-len-ah, but I say it a thousand different ways sometimes..

I usually pronounce it HEL-en-a because that sounds prettiest to me, but I like HEH-lee-na, too, and heh-LAY-na is also nice.

I pronounce it he-LAY-na. The other pronounciations sound ugly to me.
