I would say Lay-nuh, Eh-lay-nuh, and Ah-lay-nuh. I like Lena best - it’s pretty, simple, ages well, and surprisingly uncommon. The rest just look as if they’re trying just a tiny but too hard, although my next favorite is Elena.

thank you! do you think lena could also be lee-nuh?

I know an Alena (pn Ah-lee-nuh) and she goes by Lena (pn Lee-nuh)

I think these spellings definitely look like lee-nuh, not lay-nuh. Elaina and Alaina would be uh-lay-nuh. I prefer Lena on it’s own. It’s very pretty.

I don’t like it because they both end in A.

I love all of your choices. I think Lena Violet and Lena Kathryn are my favorites. But I also think Lena Vivienne is beautiful. I would eliminate Lena Nicole.

Lena Nicole is nice
