I like both, prefer Selina, or Selena is better

I'd prefer Selena, but not enough to use or to enthuse over.

Selene I always end up pronouncing like seh-LEEN. So in that case I just prefer Celine, nonetheless fine name. Selina is fine but I prefer Selena and even then I find it a bit boring and I associate it with Selena Gomez and Selena the singer, neither are bad namesakes though. That said Sorina is cool.

I like both of them but not enough to use.

Selina sometimes looks misspelled to me, I think I would do Selena or Celina.

Selene is cute but I think Céline might be easier somehow because with Selene some people say seh-leen and some seh-lee-nee (which is sort of nice and sort of too close to salami at the same time).

Love them both, would almost definitely use them if I wasn't Jewish. I love them equally - Selina has a lovely old-world charm and history, but Selene is more associated with the moon in my mind. So I don't know.
