I love the pronunciation. I hate that it looks like someone has tried to feminize the masculine name Hal.

It's okay. Maybe tooo similar to Helen/Helena, which i got bored of a while back.

It’s pretty nice. Don’t hear it in America very much and I only know of older people in the Czech Republic who have that name (it was most popular in the 50s and 60s). Maybe it’s not as popular anymore because it sounds too much like halena in Czech which is a blouse.

It was popular in Poland around the same time period too. I like it, but don't love due to it kind of sounding somewhat dated, but I like it better than Helena.

It was my grandmother's sister's name. It's very pretty.

Not much. It would be confused with Helena on a daily basis. Galena is better, but I'd ignore etymology and go with sound. I love Helen, and I'd use it happily!
