These names have been playing on my mind recently. WDYT of them and which do you prefer?

Love them both, would almost definitely use them if I wasn't Jewish. I love them equally - Selina has a lovely old-world charm and history, but Selene is more associated with the moon in my mind. So I don't know.

I like both of them but not enough to use.Selina sometimes looks misspelled to me, I think I would do Selena or Celina.Selene is cute but I think Céline might be easier somehow because with Selene some people say seh-leen and some seh-lee-nee (which is sort of nice and sort of too close to salami at the same time).

I give a full ditto on this one 🔥

Selene I always end up pronouncing like seh-LEEN. So in that case I just prefer Celine, nonetheless fine name. Selina is fine but I prefer Selena and even then I find it a bit boring and I associate it with Selena Gomez and Selena the singer, neither are bad namesakes though. That said Sorina is cool.

I'd prefer Selena, but not enough to use or to enthuse over.

I like both, prefer Selina, or Selena is better
