Re: Arlena
Yes, I have seen Arlena. I think this is one name where each bearer would pronounce it her own way. Though I would guess most of them would use "ar-LEE-nuh", I wouldn't be surprised to run across one who preferred "ar-LAY-nuh".

And in Croatia (and I guess other Slavic countries) it's 'AHR-leh-nah'. Just like Lena can have many different pronunciations depending on the language.
