Helena as a sister to Maeve?

Help! I really like the name Helena, nickname Nell(y), but I am wondering if it will clash too much with older sister Maeve.

Origin and syllable count are completely different. I guess they have mythology in common. I am way too biased at this point to tell if it sounds weird as a sibset. What are your thoughts when hearing those together? For those who may suggest Eleanor- it can't be used unfortunately. Thank you!!

    I also prefer Helen to Helena mostly because Helena has multiple pronunciations and Helen goes better with Maeve in my opinion. They don’t go great together but it’s not such a terrible match that it should be a dealbreaker if you love Helena.

    Ellen or Nell could also be names with nickname Nelly.

    As I said in your poll Helen is better. Beautiful name.
