Is [name_f]Helaine[/name_f] a historically established name? I prefer it to [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f] and [name_f]Helene[/name_f] but want to avoid invented names.
[name_f]Helaine[/name_f] is an established name. It’s a [name_m]French[/name_m] variation of [name_f]Helen[/name_f]. It’s not invented but isn’t one of the most popular variations in [name_f]France[/name_f]. More common ones are [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or Hélène.
