Lena is pronounced Lee-nah. Lay-nah would be Laina. I voted for Leah. GL!

I love the name Leah it is a more common but Lyla is pretty and less common

Lena is actually the name of a friend, and it’s pronounced the way I have it

I like Logan and Leah best out of these. I also really like Logan and Lane nn Laney

Lee-nah (Lena) is a common name in the Middle East, and it is commonly pronounced as such. I’m sorry, but I’m afraid your friend pronounces her name wrong. I double checked the phonetic spelling. It’s not the first time I’ve seen that happen. I know a girl who’s name is Ariel and she pronounces it R-ee-ll not air-ee-ll, like it is intended to be pronounced. My middle name is spelled wrong, Breann. And my sister’s first name is spelled wrong Kayle instead of Kaylee (or one of the other accepted spellings). Things like this happen. So with that in mind, I still say Leah is the best out of your options. Good luck again!

Not to be rude, but her name is not "wrong." My friend is hispanic and in spanish, her name is pronounced lay-nah. Just because it’s spelled the same, does not mean it’s the same name in another culture. Lena, in the form I am using, is derived from "Elena". As such, if I use this name, it will be pronounced lay-nah.
