Three Part Question

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Yes...I am too lazy to make separate posts:)

I. I want to name a daughter after my grandma, Helen. I much prefer Helena (He-LAY-na). However, my brother in law goes by Lane (John Delaney) and I have recently discovered he is not the man we thought he was and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the similarity in name, especially since Lane appears to be the nn of choice for Helena. i do like Helena pn Helen-ah, but not as much. 

Am I over reacting or is it too close?

II. I met a girl named Franchester.

Franchester!

III. I am looking for first name suggestions to go with Wiley has a mn. John, Johnathan, Riley, Brian, Douglas, Kenneth, Logan, Alex, Allan, Ray, Arthur, Larry, Eric, Jason, Elliott, Connor, Lucas, Asher, Joshua, and Liam are out as they are family names...well...and Riley Wiley would just be funny.

If you want you can use it as a middle name instead, but I don't see how it would be a problem to have her named Helena. You don't have to call her Lane either. Or how about a similar name like Elena?

For some reason I like Matthew with Wiley or reversed it sounds good too.
