The quill draws moonlight Streaking across the sky Writing dawn -- Inky pastels -- Here, the moon is born And nighttime dances in its slumber And stars glimmer like diamonds In the rich pool of sable that is the sky: Cosmic and celestial beings await -- For when daytime dies And night sprouts to life So forth blossoms The angelic blessing that is Selene.
This is my daughter's name. We pronounce it Sah-Lean. It is a different meaning than the French Celine which is the feminine form for Little Marcel. The tooth fairy gives her the Greek silver Selene Coins when she loses a tooth. Her sister pronounces her name See Lee Nee as a term of endearment. Selene is a name easy to pronounce and much less common than either Luna or Selena. She is extremely kind, and gentle. She listens more than talks and when she does decide to talk she is very animated. She makes friends easily. She is gifted with body control, in that she has great command over the movement of her body in a way that dancers covet. She is quick and nimble, loves a good joke. Beautiful inside and out. Holds her own without comparing herself to others, never a tattler won her boy cousin's heart.
Lovely, gentle and beautiful. I like Selene as a first or middle name. Besides, it has cute nicknames like Leni and Sisi.

I love the name Selene. If I ever had twin girls, their middle names would be Solange and Selene, which are basically sun and moon. Suh-Lee-Nee also sounds much better than the way I have heard it.
It's a pretty name, when pronounced seh-LEE-nee. Unfortunately, it reminds me of Selena Gomez, and I'm not a fan. It also sounds a little immature and almost made up. I prefer Luna.
I found this name when I was little, and I loved it! I still love it now :) I named a moon nymph this in one of my stories. And I've used it in others too. I like both pronunciations, mainly because the traditional one sounds cool to me XD. I love the Underworld movies too!
This name is gorgeous. So calm, yet beautiful. No wonder it's the name of the goddess of the moon! I prefer the seh-LEEN pronunciation, seh-LEEN-ee sounds a bit childish.
I used to really like this name, but it's just sort of corny now, and awkward on the conventional person. It's okay, I guess don't like the variant Selena.
This is a pretty name. It is a lot better than Luna! The meaning is so awesome! I would pronounce it like in the movie Underworld. I love names with the "moon" meaning. Especially, Selena.
I like this name. Though I'm not too keen on the LEE-NEE pronunciation ending part. That sounds silly, rhymes with all things ending in -ini.

Beautiful name. Not so common either. That's a bonus. I prefer it se-LEEN as well, it sounds better.

Sounds like a name for someone who really likes to be by the moonlight or is compared to the moon and moonlight. Isn't it romantic? Yep this is a very romantic and lovely name. I like both pronunciations but seh-LEEN sounds much better, seh-LEE-NEE can sometimes sound like a pasta ingredient if you focus too much on LENE ('LEE-NEE') and rhymes with all un-feminine names ending with -lini (like Mussolini). It's ok though but if seh-lee-nee I'd say the 'seh' sound stronger. Just some suggestions there. ;-)
