I am Elina and I am from Bulgaria. The name is not common in Bulgaria, but most people really like it. The pronunciation is Elina - the stress is on i. My family and friends call me Ellie.

I really love most of the Helen related names. Elin is my huge favourite, but I guess Elina is even better because it's more feminine, kind of more gentle, and also more multicultural, since it occurs in Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, a lot of Slavic countries, and could be very usable in the English-speaking ones as well though I guess there could be a lot of spellings possible so that could be either an upside or a downside. I think it ages very well but at the same time fits a child and a teen well too and has a lot of sweetness to it while not being frilly or bland or overly delicate. It could fit someone strong but also a very sensitive person.

My best friend is originally Jewish, she lives in Israel. Her name is Elina and I really enjoy it! Elina is very smart, intelligent and noble, she always has the right things to say. Also I like that it is "between" two popular names in Israel – Elena and Alina. It makes it unique but pretty.

To me, Elina is a boring, plain name. I've known many Elinas and they all have been either plain or mean, which is why I don't like this name one bit.

My name is Elina. The Finnish way to pronounce it is somehow hard to understand I guess (because no one foreign I know has done it yet), but anyway here it comes: All the vowels are short, the pressure is strongly on E in the beginning. The I is like I in the English word ill. Can you manage it? :) It's a really common name in Finland.
