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



Answer:
I dont like it. Seems like an old persons name
nar i dont think so i call my little girl elouise
No, I think it is cute. You could put an a at the end of it and call her Helena to make it a little more modern.
A very fine name. will be popular for all time to come.

if you like it go for it you will know if its right for your child when there born
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.

don't use it, the sluttiest girl i know is named helen plus i just don't like the name
Helen is a perfectly fine name. Remember the story of Helen of Troy, the whole 'face that launched a thousand ships' deal?
That's my stepmother's name :) And your child will stand out from all the Reagans, Megans, Madisons and Tylers that will be in her class.
It's a wonderful name. My grandmother, mother and my daughter (25 years old) are all named Helen. My daughter has never once complained about her name and she is young. I say go for it!
not really
I DON'T LIKE IT, MAYBE A MORE DIFFERENT NAME
I think it's an awful name. It do seem to be old-ish.
I like older names. Some of them go out of style, like Mildred, but Helen is pretty...
I love the name Helen
Its always nice to hear names like Helen...sounds very majestic :)
Helena is also nice...you can always look up these names but in a different language like Greek or Persian...they have a different way of pronouncing it.
I think it's sophisticated. Good choice!
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!
