Lena?

Considering this name and know how I would like it pronounced, but wanted to see what the general consensus was! Don't want endless corrections for evermore if "my way" is not what everyone else would assume Grin.

I knew someone with that name, years ago. She would be at least 90, now. Her name was pronounced Lee-na.
