Girl Names

Hey everyone!
I’ve got three questions for you guys to answer independently.

  1. How would you spell [name_f]Lainie[/name_f]? (Lay-nee)
    E.g. [name_f]Lainie[/name_f], [name_u]Laney[/name_u], [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], [name_u]Lanie[/name_u], [name_f]Laynie[/name_f] or something else?
  2. How would you spell it as a nickname for [name_f]Helena[/name_f]?
    (he-layn-uh)
  3. What vibes do you get from [name_f]Helena[/name_f] “Lainie”?

Thank you so much! :heart:

Lainey is my favourite spelling! It looks the sweetest & most complete, in my opinion. And I wouldn’t change the spelling for Helena! Helena “Lainey” has old-fashioned countryside vibes to me.

  1. I think I’d spell it [name_u]Laney[/name_u] or [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], since they come most intuitively to me.

  2. [name_u]Laney[/name_u], still.

  3. I love [name_f]Helena[/name_f], with it’s vintage charm. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite nickname for her would be Hela/Hel, but [name_f]Lainie[/name_f] is beautiful too!

I prefer the -ie ending spellings I think. For [name_f]Helena[/name_f] I’d be tempted to spell it Lenie but that is probably open to mispronunciation.

[name_f]Helena[/name_f] is a beautiful classic, elegant and regal, she makes me think of evening gowns and full moons and the Mediterranean. With nn [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] she becomes friendlier, more down to earth and tomboyish which is fun!

  1. I love this name but can never decide what spelling looks right! Probably [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] or [name_u]Laney[/name_u], but I like [name_f]Laynie[/name_f], [name_f]Lainie[/name_f], and [name_f]Layni[/name_f] too.

  2. Probably [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] still, maybe Leyni if I wanted it to look more like [name_f]Helena[/name_f].

  3. Sweet and summery!

  1. [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] is the one I like best
  2. Probably [name_u]Laney[/name_u]?
  3. [name_f]Helena[/name_f] ‘Lainie’ is strong but sweet, kind of gives the vibes of ‘kid who reads when she’s not supposed to but her parents struggle to tell her off because at least she’s reading’

  1. I think [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] is my favorite spelling. I like the -ey spellings; I think this name can definitely work on its own but leans a little juvenile-sounding and -ee and -ie spellings only exacerbate that. [name_u]Laney[/name_u] is alright but seems incomplete; [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] still looks slightly off somehow but is the most complete and versatile spelling I find.

  2. Since [name_f]Helena[/name_f] doesn’t lend itself to a natural spelling of the name (at least in [name_u]America[/name_u], [name_f]Leni[/name_f] would probably be more like “Lenny”) I would probably just do the simplest spelling - [name_u]Laney[/name_u].

  3. [name_u]Sunny[/name_u], intelligent, caring for others but also carefree

  1. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite spelling of this name is [name_f]Lainy[/name_f]!
  2. I might spell it [name_f]Leni[/name_f]? I doubt people would think to pronounce it “lay-nee” on its own, but in relation to [name_f]Helena[/name_f] it would make sense? [name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe I would use my favorite [name_f]Lainy[/name_f], or [name_u]Laney[/name_u] which feels like the most intuitive spelling of the name.
  3. It’s a gorgeous name. I think of [name_f]Helena[/name_f] as elegant yet bubbly—a leader’s name, with lots of gravitas. [name_f]Lainie[/name_f] makes me envision a free-spirited, adventurous kid wearing her hair in braids.

  2. [name_f]Leni[/name_f] or Laney… Probably [name_u]Laney[/name_u]
  3. Very regal but spunky at the same time, like a rebellious princess :crown:
