What would the possible nicknames for [name]Helena[/name] be? (aside from [name]Lena[/name]) I’m not too crazy about the first syllable!
Any suggestions for a good middle name to go with [name]Helena[/name] (and a 3 syllable last name?)
Thanks for your help!
[name]Helena[/name] is lovely! It depends on how you pronounce it-- I pronounce it he-lay-na, which could get you the nickname [name]Laney[/name]/[name]Leni[/name]. Others:
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Haley[/name]
[name]Lane[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Lennie[/name]
I forgot middles!

[name]Helena[/name] [name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]

[name]Helena[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]

[name]Hi[/name]!
I love [name]Helena[/name]! I personally say it as [HEH-leh-nuh], but the other pronunciation, [heh-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh], is fine, too…
I’ll substitute [name]Williams[/name] - a standard name - for your three-syllable last name:
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Brigid[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Diane[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Iris[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Jolie[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Laurel[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Margo[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Simone[/name] [name]Williams[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Therese[/name] [name]Williams[/name]*
I would call her [name]Leni[/name] [LEH-nee], as in [name]Heidi[/name] Klum’s daughter ([name]Leni[/name], short for [name]Helene[/name])…
[name]Lemon[/name] 
I pronounce it Heh-[name]LEENa[/name], which would give her the nn [name]Lena[/name] with a long e.
MN ideas:
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Hi[/name]! [name]Helena[/name] is one of my favorite names, and [name]Nell[/name] is my favorite nickname. If you’re looking for something mainstream, you may also like [name]Ellie[/name].
I personally use the helen-uh pronunciation:
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] (I love this!)
Heh-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh:
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Camille[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Simone[/name]
Helana [name]Scarlett[/name]
I’m really sorry for any repeats!
Good luck!
[name]Laney[/name]
I love [name]Nell[/name]! Any 1 syllable traditional sounding name works great - [name]Claire[/name], [name]Grace[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]May[/name], etc…
[name]Helena[/name] (hel-lay-na) is actually my given name but I have always gone by [name]Lena[/name] (lay-na), however I love the nick name [name]Nell[/name]. I also go by [name]Elle[/name] or Lanes.
Also some middle name varieties:
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Theresa[/name] (my name haha)
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] Margueritte
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
i like [name]Leni[/name], i think it would work no matter how you pronounce the full name.
