I love it! One of my consistently favourite names. I pronounce it heh-LAYN-uh, but also like HEL-en-uh. It's amazing how much difference the "a" makes to the name's style. To me,
Helen is very stale and plain -- whereas
Helena is a name that stops you in your tracks. You notice how pretty it is.
For
Selene, I say seh-LEE-nee :-)
