Funny Helen is my sister's name she is lovely so it's a positive association for me. But I think it is common for associations of people putting you off a name or at the same time liking the name.

I've known a couple of Joanne's that were fine so the association is positive for me. I understand where you are coming from. Helen is a No No to me
