How is Helyna supposed to sound like Helena? (m)
in reply to a message by Cora
I know what you mean about over Kre8iyfnesse :DI mean, wouldnt Helyna be pronounced HEL-yna?
Besides, I think Helaiena is much more pleasing to the eye.

It was pronounced heh-LAYN-uh, which is what I thought Helaine was, too.But, remember the rule: It's a 'y', and therefore you can use it as any sound you want! *rylls eyys*ETA: Oops, I just saw Array's post further up. I guess it's not quite the same. My default German pronunciation of everything made Helaine into "heh-LAYN-uh".
