Which spelling do you prefer: Arline or Arlene?

I'm Jessica Ann Arline and I've been thinking for a while now of changing my middle names.
I will be dropping Ann because it's doesn't have any flavor at all to me. I'm also more of a one-middle-name person, so I've grown keen towards keeping just "Arline", but can't decide on which spelling.


Arlene
*Pros:
- I originally thought for a long time this was the actual spelling of my name, before my mom informed me.
- I'm a huge Kill Bill fan (not a movie fan, not a Tarantino fan, just Kill Bill, so it's special) and Arlene Machiavelli is the name Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) uses when she changes identity.
- I used to be a great Lene Marlin fan, so Ar-lene would be closer.

*Cons:
- Arline was my maternal grandmother's name and I was named after her (but she had already passed away when I was born, so I don't have a personal attachment to her)

Arline:
*Pros:
- It was the name my mom chose for me (not sure if this is relevant to me or not)

*Cons:
- I hate how it look so much like "airline".

WDYT?
