Selva is not a given name. At least not a common one. The short for Selva would be "Selvita". To me (native Spanish speaker) naming someone Selva sounds like a New-Ageist / Neo-Hippie trend. But then again, tehre are people (that I have met) named Lluvia (rain), Luna (moon) and Coralito (Little Coral) ...
