Nickname for Helena

johannahux · October 28, 2018, 5:54am

My husband and I both really like the name [name_f]Helena[/name_f] for a girl (I have 3 [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]'s in my family). I also really like nicknames but am having a hard time figuring out what nickname suits a [name_f]Helena[/name_f]. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m very fond of [name_f]Nell[/name_f].
To @xmaslights’s list, I’d add [name_f]Henny[/name_f]/[name_f]Hennie[/name_f] and [name_f]Henna[/name_f].

I am also fond of [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

I adore [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and would love to hear more of it.

Another vote for [name_f]Nell[/name_f]!

There’s also [name_u]Halle[/name_u], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_u]Lane[/name_u].

I would use [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Leni[/name_f], or [name_f]Nell[/name_f] (my favorite).

[name_u]Henley[/name_u]?
…

I like a lot of the suggestions already, I’d just add [name_f]Hen[/name_f], which is also a pet name for women / girls in northern [name_f]England[/name_f]!

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is my favorite!

bonfireazalea · October 28, 2018, 12:17pm

I would just use [name_f]Helena[/name_f] as a full name, but if I were to use a nickname it would be [name_f]Leni[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f].

[name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] named her 3rd daughter [name_f]Helena[/name_f], she called her Lenchen which is more out there if you are in to that I also really like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] which is pronounced [name_m]Lay[/name_m]- na !

lesliemarion · October 28, 2018, 1:16pm

I love [name_f]Helene[/name_f] the [name_m]French[/name_m] way and [name_f]Lena[/name_f].

thenameprincess · October 28, 2018, 2:26pm

[name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_u]Laney[/name_u], [name_m]Lenny[/name_m], [name_f]Lana[/name_f]

ashthedreamer · October 28, 2018, 2:31pm

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Leni[/name_f] is my favorite, but I’m also fond of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Nell[/name_f].

LiliMorgana · October 28, 2018, 3:16pm

[name_f]Nell[/name_f] is cute. I really like [name_f]Lenna[/name_f] ([name_m]Len[/name_m]-nah) as well. There are several Macedonian women in my family who are [name_f]Helen[/name_f] who go by [name_f]Lenna[/name_f]. I never hear it elsewhere and I would like to!

LAINY · October 28, 2018, 10:39pm

I love [name_f]Lena[/name_f] and [name_f]Leni[/name_f] but [name_f]Henna[/name_f] is my absolute favorite.

cece84 · October 29, 2018, 1:26am

My absolute favourite nickname for [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Elena[/name_f] is [name_f]Leni[/name_f] - I just find it so fresh and sophisticated - and wearable on a little kid but also an adult.

elise12 · October 29, 2018, 1:51am

I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f] on its own, but [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Nella[/name_f] are my favorite nn’s.
