The "H" name thread got me thinking...
-
Hell-ay-nuh
-
I pronounce it hel-eh-nuh
-
I voted for the first option. I say it Hell Un A.
-
Huh-lay-nuh for the name, Hel-eh-nuh for the capital... I don't know why we pronounce the capital differently around here.
-
Hell-A-nuh, with emphasis on the A. I think it's really pretty.
-
@lamariniere: yes same Hel-lay-nah
-
@swedishfish: that's how you pronounce the capital, although lots of people get it wrong!
Love the last option.
-
@Espion: @jedeve: ha, I just noticed the last option.
-
Huh-lay-na
-
@blackbird: me too
-
Hell-lay-nuh...and what a pretty name.
-
option 3. as in Helena Cassadine (at least that's where my mind went)
-
I think of it as Hel-Lah-Nah (and I like it).
-
Wow, it's split pretty evenly! I always pronounced it in my head like the capital.
I think it's pretty too.
I have a gut feeling this kid is a girl, and we had hardly any girl names the last go 'round. Of course, now DH is like, "Uhhhh, I'll have to see more choices." Ha@swedishfish: @jedeve:
-
Hel-eh-nuh
-
Hel-lay-nuh
-
The one person I know with the name, pronounces it Huh-lay-nuh.
-
Hell-eh-na. But, my brother dated a girl from Ethiopia who had that name and pronounced it Hell-ee-na
-
Hel-lay-nuh
-
Add another vote for hell-ay-nuh!
-
Hel-a-nuh
-
@californiadreams: lol same!
-
@Espion: hell-ay-nuh
-
Lol, burst out laughing at your last poll option!
I say it like the capital city.
-
@JerricaBenton: i knew i couldn't be the only GH fan on here!
-
@californiadreams: Helena was actually on my short list for lo's name and my mom said no because, 'you can't name her after a cassadine!' Haha
-
This is actually one of our top girl names except we can't agree on how'd we'd pronounce it. I like Hel-een-ah (nn Lena) and he likes Hel-lay-nah.
-
Hel-LAY-nah
-
Please name her Unicorn
-
@CupQuakeWalk: Love it!
I say Hell-eh-nuh. I like Hell-ay-nuh...but afaik, no one British would pronounce it that way and I'd forever be correcting people!
