Hmm...The Elenas and Helenas I know all pronounce their names as you have them listed. Those are the pronunciations I would immediately think to use. Weird, maybe it’s where you come from..

You could change the spelling a bit--
Elaina
Helaina
Elayna
Helayna
Elaena
Helaena
I agree that they will be pn wrong, spelled the way you have them. Great names though.

All the Elenas I know pronounce it the way you have it. I wouldn’t change the spelling.

Elena seems a bit fresher than Helena, but they are both pretty. :)
