I associate Elaine with Arthurian legend. I pronounce it with a long e at the beginning, but I say it fast enough that it kind of sounds like a short e. With my limited knowledge of Welsh (and double checking), I think that the e of a non-stressed syllable is short. I think it's a pretty name. I have a particular fondness for all Arthurian names, whether I really like the sound of them or not. :) Ygraine is similar enough to Elaine. I really like that one too.
