Len is guys name (or nickname.) leena is sometimes used, but rarely for helen. belle and beauty-- thank you... but alas, i am neither.. i don't need to go about with a brown paper bag over my face.. i don't 'knock 'em dead" at fiftly paces.. but i am no beauty. (but i have great hair, and great skin, and beautiful blue eyes, so don't get the idea i am lacking in self esteem! i don't need to claim beauty.. i have other qualities, as valuable..) my other obsession Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Helen #51681 01/04/02 08:19 PM Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 2,605 K Keiva Carpal Tunnel Keiva Carpal Tunnel K Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 2,605 the common (or even uncommon!) nick name for Helen is?
