Elin or Lena down to 2

jgengo0 · August 2013

We are finally down to two girls names. We are team green and I am hoping it is a boy so we don't have to ultimately make this tough decision!
p.s- Thanks for dealing with all my questions lately!

Lena 'Lay-nuh' Elisabeth (dh and his entire family are 100% Norwegian and prefer the European pronunciation).

or

Elin 'ee-lynn' Victoria

TIA

Most definitely Elin Victoria.

Lena is going to get mispronounced all the time.

Elin Victoria is pretty! I normally would like Lena better, but I feel like the majority of people will not pronounce it the way you want it to be pronounced. Plus I think Audra and Elin is a better sibset.

This. I think you will deal with a lot of pronunciation issues with Lena/Lay-nuh.

Elin, bc nobody is going to pronounce Lena the way you want them too. Save yourself some trouble.

I think the argument that keeps coming up of Elin over Lena because of mispronunciation is interesting, because I think Elin will be mispronounced frequently also, as "Ellen." Before being educated by this board, I would have assumed Ellen, and, in fact, still have to remind myself when I read it here that its "E-Lynn." I don't know of any IRL. I suggest go with whichever one you like more, and be ok with some inevitable pronunciation correction for either.
