How would you pronounce this name?

I would say El-en-uh (almost like Eleanor) but with UH at teh end.
But i guess it could be E-lane_uh

I'd say ell-lee-AH-na

I'd probably guess el-ee-AH-nuh, and if not that then el-LEEN-uh
It's a beautiful name, either way.

My first thought was ell-lee-AH-na as well.
Elena without the A would be E-lay-nah, or E-lee-nah.

My first thought was eh-LAH-nah, but I can see eh-lay-AN-ah, too.

I'd probably prn. el-lean-uh or el-lee-an-uh.

I'd say it El-ee-AH-nah. I can see how some people would pronounce it Eh-LEEH-na or Eh-LAY-na as well.

It would be one of those names you'd have to correct people's pronunciation frequently. Nothing wrong with that, I have to spell my name all the time because it's a fairly common name with a fairly un-common spelling. I like it a lot though!

I know an Eleana and she pronounces it El-LAY-nuh kind of like Alayna, but only a different spelling.

el-AY-nuh

ell-lee-AH-na for me too. What pronunciation were you guys hoping for?

Quote:
I have a friend whose name is "Aleana" and it is pronounced UH-Lean-UH

so my first inclination is Eh-Lean-Uh

Uh-lane-uh.

I have a friend whose daughter is named Eliana, (Ell ee AH na) and that's also how I'd pronounce Eleana.

Quote:
Yeah that would be my first thought.

I have a friend who's dd is named Eliana. I love the name. Very pretty, very feminine, and strong.

That's how I would pronounce your name.

el-lee-AH-nuh (like Eliana)

Either El-ay-na or El-ee-ah-na.
