Am I spelling it right?

Question

My daughters name will be Elena. Pronounced, E-lae-na. Not Elen-uh. Is this the best way to spell it?

Answer

Elena and Elaina have 2 different pronunciations. I'd go with Elaina if you want it pronounced as you stated.

Answer

Original spelling is Elena. Latin origin. I would keep it Elena, when I read it I didn't think it was EL EN UH

Answer

I think you are spelling it right. That's always how I've seen it and pronounced it

Answer

I know someone with Elena spelt that way, I think that's the traditional spelling of it.

Answer

I have friends that have named their daughters that but spelled Elaina.

Answer

Elena is the nicest way to spell it. It is a beautiful and classy name so to spell it differently would ruin it IMO. Some people will need help with pronunciation however the important people in your lives will know how to say it and I think that's all that matters.

Answer

I knew what it was before you broke it down. It's a lovely name
