Helena
Helena is now the most forward-thinking name available. While Helena sounds like a more delicate version of Helen, she was really the mother of Constantine the Great, who became a saint in the fourth century. Helena was also one of Shakespeare’s favorite names, appearing in both “All’s Well That Ends Well” and “A Midsummer’s Night Dream.” The first Helena that came to me was actress Helena Bonham Carter, but there are many others. Helena Blavatsky, sometimes known as Madame Blavatsky, is one of the most well-known personalities associated with the name. Helena Kennedy, Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws, is another well-known Helena, as is businesswoman Helena Rubinstein.

Clementine
If the song “Oh, My Darlin'” is still playing too loudly in your head, you might recall this old name. This girl’s name is of French and Latin origin, meaning “mild, merciful.” Kate Winslet portrayed Clementine in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” and supermodel Claudia Schiffer chose Clementine for her daughter, along with Ethan Hawke and his wife, Ryan Hawke. Clementine will always be remembered as the wife of one of history’s greatest statesmen, Winston Churchill. According to mythology, the term “behind every man there is a great woman” alludes to her since she was stronger, more loving, and supporting than anybody else.
