Dont'cha think "Helen Lee" has a rhythm all its own? ;-)
But I like your idea about rhythm. My bilingual prejudice requires me to select rhythm in just one language (which would be English since that's where we are now).
Dione is quite new to the family. It has Greek mythological roots. As a bonus, Saturn's moon Dione (where I dug up the name - I find some celestial names to really sing) has an orbital partner called Helene.
Of course, my ponderous Germanic surname really precludes finding a name which sounds organically whole and light on the tongue from start to finish.

Hey Christine, I forgot to ask yesterday, was that gun that you had in your shop loaded, and would you have used it if you were threatened with bodily harm?

Daisy Annabelle??? Yuk! It reminds me of one of the fat ladies that come into Al Bundy's shoe store, and try to get him to wedge them into a petite shoe.
