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.

I. Why not use the nick Lena instead?

II. Wow.

III. Riley Wiley made me laugh, so not a good name. What about Michael or Thomas?
