I would be more inclined to pronounce it se-LEE-nee. I think (pronounced se-LEE-nee) it's a beautiful name.

se-LEE-nee now, several years ago it would have been se-LEEN but I've trained myself to pronounce it se-LEE-nee, it's automatic.

I agree with Elinor, Celine would better for the se-LEEN pronunciation and Selene (se-LEE-nee) Ruth sounds better than Selene (se-LEEN) Ruth.

I've got used to pronouncing it se-LEEN-ee now, and that's the way I like the name. Celine would be a far better bet if that's the pronunciation you're going for.

---

Selene Ruth (se-LEEN) doesn't flow, but Selene Ruth (se-LEEN-ee) flows nicely.

I like Selene, it's simple and unique. Plus it reminds me of the character in the movie Underworld. I would pronouce it Sel-ene or Se-lene.

Definately pronounce is se-LEEN. Selene is ok but I prefer Selena. IMO Selena Ruth would sound better.

I would be included to pronounce it se-LEEN because I knew someone with the name and she pronounced it that way. I used to like the name more than I do now. For some reason now every time I see it I think of Saline, suh-LEEN, a town in Michigan, which in return makes me think of saline solution.

I prefer Selena or Selina. Selene Ruth is ok. :)
