This is a continual mystery to me. I have never met a “Hellen”, spelled with two “l”s, ever. And yet at the sort of coffee shop where they insist on asking your name, they routinely spell it that way. And no, I don’t think that the existence of “Ellen” as a name fully explains this. I’m sure Helen is more common.
