I pronounce it the third way. My favorite nickname from your options is Nell, but it doesn’t make much sense to me as a nickname for Helena, so probably Lena (LEHN-ah)

Nell is a nickname for Helena the same way it is a nickname for Helen and Ellen. I’m not really sure how it came about, but we like it :)
