I dislike this name very much. It is strange and uncommon. I do not like the name Salena or the nickname Sally. Sally sounds too childish for an adult.

My name is Salena and I like it very much. I've always been told that it is a very pretty name. If I ever go by a nickname, I go by Lena or Laina. I found that other nicknames could be Lainey, Allie, or Sally.
I've loved this name ever since reading Winnie The Horse Gentler. Winnie has a friend named Salena--who generally goes by Sal--and I just loved the name ever since I started reading the series.
