How would you spell Eh-LAY-na?

[Amygdala]

Hey girls!

I love the name Elena pronounced Eh-LAY-na but worry that she'd get it mispronounced a lot. How would you say it should be spelled?

Thanks!

Personally I'd spell it Elaina

 

[hivechild]

I agree with Elaina if that's the pronunciation you want.

 

[MiissMuffet]

I know an Elena pronounced how u want it pronounced i've never seen Elaina b4 but that does look alot nicer

Elaina - looks & sounds sooo pretty! I have always loved the name "Alaina" or "Alayna"!

Elaina or Elayna

My daughters name is Eleanor pronounced El-a-na, people spelt it wrong all of the time and pronnounce it with the or at the end, but after some minor adjustments and correcting they are getting there.

Elayna or Alaina?

Alayna

 

[nightkd]

I would probably spell it 'Elena'! But Elayna/Eleyna or Elaina looks pretty too

Elaina

I think if you spell it Elaina people will pronounce it EE-LAY-NA (like Elaine is EE-LAYN)
If you want it to be EH-LAY-NA then maybe Elayna would be easiest, but I like your original spelling Elena best

Elaina But I have seen an Elena (works for the same company as I do...). Somehow I just seem to pronounce it differently spelt that way though Sounds more like "Eh-lee-na" to me.

I work with an Aleina that pronounces it Eh-leh-na!
