hello, all! a few things for this post:

-i'm writing a story in which one of my main characters goes by a different name daily. any suggestions? i'm avoiding names starting with the letter m. (and for funsies, if you were to change your name for short periods of time, what would you choose?) *

-what female names would have "ted" as a nickname (other than theodora)?

-how would you pronounce the name "helena"?

thanks!

*eta: the character is female; her real name is mary and her tongue-in-cheek default name is moneypenny, which is why i'm skipping m's. her name is randomly selected from a pre-determined list every morning and sent to her.

I've heard it said a couple of ways. As above poster said and I've also heard it LOO-SHEE-EN. I've just sat for about 5 minutes saying it over to myself trying to decide which way I prefer :p Still haven't decided XD

I say it "LOO-shen".

The only two ways I know of it being pronounced are that way and "Loo-CHEE-en".
