[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Here in Italy it's EL-ay-nah

[lava-sharks.livejournal.com]

i must be the only one saying it E-LEE-NA. i kind of hate ell-ay-nah, even if it is it's correct pronunciation! haha

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I'ts my mother's middle name actually and I ADORE it. Buit I have noticed people pronounce it different than we do (I hlive in a spanish speaking country). The way iot's 'supposed' to be said is: Ell-E(as in pet) - NUH. Ell-AY-NUH is ok but I muuuch preffer the other way =)

El-Layne-uh

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

I usually say el-AY-nuh. But I looooooove the Spanish pronunciation (el-EH-nuh)

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Ell-AY-nah. One of my favorite names!

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I'd say Eh-LAY-nuh but I have no idea if that's how it's supposed to be pronounced.

PS - icon twins! :P

Ell-ay-nuh
I liked this name too but decided on Elaina since most people know how to pronounce Elaine so there would be no confusion how to say her name

[sereneignorance.livejournal.com]

Eh-len-ah, it's my aunt's name and our native language is spanish.

[alas-earwax.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my name is Alayna and my Italian cousins pronounce it that way. Not that it's spelled the same...

Ah-lane-A is how I pronounce it.

My mum's friend's daughter is Elena and they say it as eh-lee-na
I went to school with a girl called Elena and she constantly corrected teachers by saying it was pronounced Ell-en-ah, NOT eh-lay-nah.

[murderprotocol.livejournal.com]

el-EH-nuh, but I have known someone who pronounces is e-LEEN-ah.

[2nd-heartbeat.livejournal.com]

Same here. My best friend's sister is Elena, pronounced eh-len-uh. Their mother is hispanic. It's my favourite pronunciation :]
