Re: Elena
in reply to a message by Perrine
I pronounce it eh-LAY-nuh and almost all of the time, people have pronounced it that way (99% of the time). The only time I get EL-en-nuh is when the CVS automated voice is telling me I have an Rx ready to pick up. Between Elena and Helena, I prefer Elena although I do like Helena. What I really dislike is Helen due to the emphasis on the first syllable. That a on the end makes all the difference to me.
