It depends how you pronounce Helena. I’ve heard it pronounced hel-AY-nuh and helen-ah most often which are fine as siblings for Athena, but I know some people pronounce it hel-EE-nuh, which is too close to Athena.

Helena and Athena sound too much alike for siblings.

I like both names together only depends on the pronunciation of Helena as the first comment explains in further detail for pronunciation. Although if Helena is pronounced Helen-ah They sound a little better than pronounced Hel-ee-nah. : )
