HelpRe: Selena and Serena
in reply to a message by Katica
I really grew to love Serena.
At first it surprised me because it sounds pretty modern-- probably because of the Serena Williams association-- and a bit on the flimsy-feminine side... but then when I thought about the meaning (serene, peaceful) I really began to admire and respect it.
And I do like feminine-sounding names. Most of my favorite girls names end in "-ah."
I guess I am not as crazy about Selena mainly because I'm Catholic, and the association with the Greek goddess isn't something I'd normally want. ? It's not bad, just not meaningful to me.
Anyway, they are both pretty, but for some reason the meaning and even the sound of Serena is a little more "meaty" to me.
