The comments under “urban” names disgust me. You can dislike a name and be respectful. Shelena is not a name I adore, but it’s definitely not as hideous as people are making it out to be.
There is nothing wrong with this name, but I think the contributor who decided this name was linked to names like Helen, Helena, and Magdalena does not understand how etymology works. I suspect the contributor could not produce any evidence linking this name to any of those names. Helena and Magdalena are not even related to each other (have entirely different language and historical origins), let alone to this name.It is a good reminder that this site doesn’t vet information for accuracy or quality, and if something seems wrong, it probably is.
Is sounds like "she lena", as if you are introducing someone named Lena with wrong grammar. It also sounds modern and classless. Selene, Helen, Ellen, Elena, Helena, and Lena, are good names... but Shelena?
