Lina/Lena?

[jadedsurprises.livejournal.com]

There's a student where I work whose name is Lina. I think it's so beautiful but it doesn't sound complete to me. What are some full names that Lina/Lena could be a nickname for? I was thinking of Carolina (prn Care-O-lean-a, not like North/South Carolina) and Catalina, but what other ones might work?

Also my boyfriend and I were walking around the store awhile ago and he overheard a little girl being called by her mom. Her name was Liliana (guessing on the spelling) and he said it was decided, that's what we would call our first girl. I like it, but I'm not sold. Luckily we're not TTC any time soon! What do you think?

My great-great-grandmother's name was Helena (heh-LEE-nah) and she went by Lena.
