Thank you to those for sharing your thoughts.
We have decided on Selena, as a middle name.

I think Salina is a different name than Selina/Selena
Selena and Selina are both good spellings and it’s really just a personal preference. I love the letter i, so my vote goes to Selina. It looks British and feminine.

Salena looks wrong. Like there should be more emphasis on Sal.
Selina is fine, but isn't as visually appealing as Selena. So I'd stick to two Es.

I know a Salena and it sounds like suh-LAY-na.
I vote Selena. It's more obviously "moon" to me which I like.
I love the name Selina, it sounds so simple yet pretty!
(Though I prefer the spelling Zelina)
:D

Selena … just like the late singer. Preferably lit up in bright lights 😉
What about the spelling Zalena?
No. Random Zs always seem very imaginative-preteen. Selena is lovely, with no issues at all. Go for it!
I think Selena and Selina are both so lovely. Salena looks off to me.
Thank you!
I've always liked the Selina spelling more than the other "S" options. I like Celina too.
