Daisy166

Lena for a girl? I believe it's pronouncedLeena right?

I like it...I've only heard that name in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books, never known anyone with it though!

Yes, Leen-a, like Lena Horne.

I like it.  I think its one of the classic classy names that is underused.

I work with a Lena and I think its very cute and unusual She is the only one I've ever met...

I think it's nice, a little simple maybe... It almost sounds like a nickname for something.

I like it a lot. But I've always seen it pronounced Leh-nah. It's greek. It's also pronounced like this on "The sisterhood of the traveling pants". I believe it's a deviation of Elena. I would actually never think Lee-nah...

For the pronunciation Lee-nuh, I prefer the spelling Lina. But I like the way it sounds spelled either way.

I think Lee-nuh as soon as I see it. I have a 6 yr old neighbor with this  name, I think it's cute.

I've heard it on other girls and I like it on them I just don't think I'd use it for my child.

I think it's lovely and underused.

And FWIW, my beloved grandmother's name was Leta... always loved that, too.  Unusual but not too weird.   Don't know if I have the guts to use it, though.

I love this name! I absolultely would pronounce it Lee-na. We are naming our soon-to-be-DD Madelyn, and my neighbor (a little old Italian lady with a very thick accent) started referring to the baby as "Madelena". Over the last few months, she has shortened that into just Lena, and I think it's adorable! She asks me every day how baby Lena is doing, and I think it may be the perfect nn for our LO!

I really like it, but I prefer it spelled Leena, just so it's not confusing to pronounce.

I love this name.

I don't like it, but that's probably because I had a b*tchy Russian roommate named Lena in college.

I was going to say this.  I like the name.

Beautiful!

I like it! However, as a short side story, this was my grandmother's name and she HATED it. She went by Margaret her whole life (which was her middle name) and she told my mother that in no uncertain terms was she allowed to name me or my sister Lena.

I know someone named lena- pronounced lee- nuh.  I like it!

I live in a Scandinavian area of the country, so I pronounce it Lee-na. I love it
