I love it, but do you think it's mispronounced a lot? How do you pronounce it?

I pronounce it El-ay-na. I think with the new Disney princess and tv show this is how a lot of people with pronounce it.

I would pronounce it el-AY-na. If you spelled it Ellena, I would pronounce it EL-un-uh.

I think it is mispronounced often. I know people named Elena who pronounce it either E lay na or Elle uh nuh.

I would spell it Elaina if you are looking for E lay na.

The Hispanic pronunciation is the soft E's, and the everyone else pronunciation is the hard E's.

Everyone spells and pronounces things differently these days, it can be hard to do anything about it.

This is one of those names that while beautiful depending on culture, where you live, etc you will get multiple pronunciations. So it is something you and more importantly your daughter will run into her entire life. Personally I think E -Le-nah
