DH and I like the name Helen for our DD on the way. But I know a million Ella and Ellie's under the age of 2, not to mention Stellas, Adeles, and even an "Elle." So clearly the "el" sound is a popular one!
On paper Helen seems totally different to me, but then when I saying it out loud, it makes me wonder...will Helen get lumped in or confused with all the Ella's and Ellies out there?
Re: Will Helen be lumped in with all the Ella/Ellies?
Personally, I wouldn't lump Helen or Ellen in with all of the Stellas, Ellas and Isabellas out there.
Helen sounds much less trendy. I like it.

Love Helen. Love Helena (like Helen-uh). No WAY would I categorize it with the names of now...
Great choice!
No way. Not even close.
Me too. Helen is lovely!
