How to pronounce Lena?

I have heard this pronounced a bunch of different ways and was wondering what the most accepted/common way was.
Lee-nuh
Ley-nuh
Len-uh
Let me know if I'm forgetting any.

Leh-nah , that si the nearest to what we say in Sweden.
I've heard it pronounced Lee-nuh and Lay-nuh but prefer Lay-nuh, its very pretty. I know a girl called Elena and she pronounces it Uh-lay-nuh, with Lay-nuh for short.

This was my great-grandmother's name, and was pronounced Lee-nuh. I think there are variations used in many different cultures, so maybe that's where the differing pronunciations come from?

I have known several over the years - the name is meant to be with a long E
Lee-nuh
I can see where people would think other things are possible though.
if it concerns you - alter the spelling to make it sound like you want.
If you want Lee-nuh and are afraid Lena isn't sufficient, do Leena
if you want Lay-nuh - do Laina or Layna
if you want Len-ah (yuck), you don't want that - then you'd need Lennah. - like Jenna, but add the h.
good luck
