[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are expecting our second daughter in [name_f]April[/name_f], and we wanted to name her [name_f]Helena[/name_f], after [name_f]Helena[/name_f] Bonham-[name_u]Carter[/name_u], whom I really admire. We already have a two-year-old daughter named [name_f]Alice[/name_f]-[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], after [name_f]Alice[/name_f] in Wonderland and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] from Pride and Prejudice, and we wanted to have a similar type name, but we weren’t sure what would fit with [name_f]Helena[/name_f].
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is gorgeous! With [name_f]Helena[/name_f], how about:
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]!

Please let us know what name combination you ultimately decide upon! 
Thank you for all your suggestions! I really loved a lot of them, and we’ve managed to narrow it down to two. Helena-Jane, which a lot of you seemed to favour, and Helena-Charlotte, because Charlotte (Charlie) is my older cousins name, who I’m really close with.
They’re both beautiful! Can’t wait to find out your final decision once your baby arrives! 
We chose [name_f]Helena[/name_f]-[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
