Favourite Helen variation?

I think I most prefer [name_f]Helena[/name_f], but I’m in love with all versions of [name_f]Helen[/name_f]. They’re all so classic and provoke very specific images of different women for me. I’m curious about what your favourite is and why?

I personally love the name [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. Simple and sweet.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] would be my favorite, but I also like the Greek [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Alena[/name_f], [name_f]Ilona[/name_f]–so many choices!

I just like [name_f]Helen[/name_f].

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is my favorite–it sounds really elegant to me and could work on all ages. I like the nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f] suggested above

[name_f]Helena[/name_f], Hélène, [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f]… but then again, they are all so very beautiful.

I like [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] the best.

I love [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Yalena[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], and [name_f]Helena[/name_f]! I think they are all gorgeous.

I love [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] (pronounced like Hel-AY-nah)!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] them all.

[name_f]Helen[/name_f] is the ultimate classic name.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is lovely too, just a bit more … something. Feminine? No, I can’t think of the word I want.

I would go with [name_f]Helena[/name_f] because she could also go by [name_f]Helen[/name_f] without even changing her name.

[name_f]Helene[/name_f] is to me ugly pronounced Hell-eeeen. But I love it said in [name_m]French[/name_m], which it would not be in the US.

I have a soft spot for [name_f]Heloise[/name_f] too, household stains and all! :slight_smile:

Definitely [name_f]Helena[/name_f] as well. Followed by [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f].

[name_f]Helene[/name_f] and [name_f]Helena[/name_f] are my favorites, but I also like the nickname [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f]! :slight_smile: It’s gorgeous.

My favourite is [name_f]Helena[/name_f], I just love it!

[name_f]Elena[/name_f] is my favourite.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] (HEL-en-uh) and [name_f]Helen[/name_f] are my favourites, but I also adore [name_f]Eleni[/name_f].
[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is the only nickname I would consider ^^

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] would probably have have to be my favorite, but I also just love [name_f]Elena[/name_f]…

I absolutely love all of the [name_f]Helen[/name_f] variations, but the classics [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f] (HELL-uh-nuh) and [name_f]Lena[/name_f] ([name_m]LAY[/name_m]-nuh) are probably my favourites. One variant that has also always intrigued me is [name_f]Helaine[/name_f], if that appeals at all.

I’m with you. I also love many variations of [name_f]Helen[/name_f]. My faves may be [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Elina[/name_f]!

[name_f]Helen[/name_f] is my favorite.
