Take a look at the popularity chart for this name. Starting in 1991, its popularity started rising annually; that's the year that the career of the immensely popular singer Selena really took off. In 1995, the year of her untimely death, it shot up to #91 on the Top 1000 list, compared to #300 the year before. Coincidence? I think not.
