[Opinions] Re: Helen or Ellen or Helena? wdyt nt
in reply to a message by )(
Helen makes me think of a square face, pipey voice, vaguely henlike character. It's strong but seems old and fussy, like Martha or Chloris
Ellen is kinda glum and dated, and makes me think of Degeneres which isn't a very attractive association for some reason.
Helena has 2 pronunciations and I don't love either one... HEL-ena (like the capital of Montana) and heh-Layna.
so, NOTA ... Elena, please? Or Elaine, Elaina- mirfak
