What do you think of Helen as a baby name? Is it too old-ish?

Answer 1

I dont like it. Seems like an old persons name

Answer 2

I've never been a big fan of the name Helen. Sounds like a 85 year old grandma's name. Or your great Aunt Helen.

You could add an "a" on the end to make it a little more modern as Helena.

Some other good H names for girls are:

Hannah
Hevalyn
Haven
Holli
Hope
Hayden
Hailey
Hillary

Good luck!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Helen is a perfectly fine name. Remember the story of Helen of Troy, the whole 'face that launched a thousand ships' deal?

Answer 5

I LOVE it...had thought of naming my own Daughter one day

"Helen Elizabeth". My deskmate is Helene Therese. And besides a lot of the old favorites like Emma, Lillian are coming back in style.
