Ok, so I don't live under a rock and I know they have that song "Helena" not a fan myself, but I heard someone say the title on TV and was SHOCKED at the wrong pronounciation. So my question is how do you, personally, say the second 'e' in it? Do you say it as an 'e' as in 'pen' or as an 'a' as in 'plain'?

No but the song is about Gerard and Mikey Way's grandmother Elena who pasted away. So he just put a H infront of her name and thats how you get the name Helena.

Well the city of which I speak is Hell-en-a. No "a" sound in the middle "e". I guess since it's not from mythology and it's from a name the crazy outrage I feel is misplaced.
DAMN!!! My 100th post is so insignifcant!! GRRR! I wanted it to be special.
