General Name Discussion

What is the pronunciation difference between [name]Alina[/name] and [name]Elina[/name]?

[name]Do[/name] you say them the same or is one

“[name]Ah[/name]-lean-ah” and the other “[name]El[/name]-lean-ah”?

[name]Love[/name] the name [name]Elina[/name] for the nn “[name]Elle[/name]” or “[name]Ellie[/name]”, but don’t like it if it’s pronounced “[name]El[/name]-lean-ah” instead of “ah-lean-ah”.

I think when I say it at least, there is a very subtle difference between the two (it’s probably closer to Uh-leen-ah). Although I prefer [name]Alina[/name] more but also like the nn [name]Elle[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name].
