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.

I love this name so much. It's amazing. So rich in culture, yet so modern, too... you can't go wrong. Selena is also wonderful, but more common. I don't really like the name Luna much because it's almost too perfect, y'know? It's too feminine, too light, too happy. I can't imagine a Luna who's a real person, not a fictional character. Phoebe is an awesome name, but it's becoming more common, and, while I like Sol, I find it more masculine. I love Céline, too, mostly because of Céline Herondale from Cassandra Clare's books. Both spellings are great, but I really don't like Silena/Silene, Seline, etc. Stick with three e's, it looks cleaner.
I also love the name Sunny, but don't think it could work well on it's own. Imagine a Selene or Selena who goes by Sunny. I love it already.

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.

My name is Selene and I love my name. In Europe, people write it as Celine, but I still like it because the meaning of it is the same. It comes from the Goddess of the Moon Selene in Greek mythology. It has a lot of variants such as Selena, Celine (in French), Selen (in Turkish, sounds similar with Spanish name Bélen), Selina (in Russian). I think the name is pretty strong with its meaning behind.

Selene was a Titaness, not a goddess. Check out Greek gods dot org if you don't believe me. Look up Theia, her first-gen Titaness mother. Under her name you will clearly see that Selene is her daughter. Just wanted to let you guys know. [noted -ed]

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.

Selene is my name! And I agree with you, it is quite a beautiful name, not to be too big-headed! I quite like my name, and most people pronounce it 'Sah-lean-ee' when they see it. But I pronounce it Sah-lean. Some people even call me Selena. It can get annoying, but if people understand they usually say it is a beautiful name. I then will blush and thank them, as I can get quite shy.

Selene it is also said, in Greece, that comes from the word selas. Selas means light and this is what we call northern lights in Greece "βόρειο σέλας". Some of course believe that Selene and Helen are synonymous names, (of the same meaning) which is the "shining one", because both of them come from the word selas.

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.

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. ;-)

By the way, the Greek goddess Selene had a sister, Eos (EE-os), or dawn, and a brother, Helios (HEE-lee-os), or sun. In one of the myths associated with the goddess, she falls in love with a shepherd named Endymion, and as she knows better than to ask that he be granted eternal life without eternal youth, she asks instead of Zeus, her father, that he be granted everlasting sleep. She then visits him in dreams, in which Endymion holds the moon in his arms.

Pronounced Sel-EEN.

I beg to differ, bellaboo. The original Greek name is pronounced see-LEE-nee, as read as it is written in the Greek alphabet, although it may be pronounced differently depending on the person giving the name. The goddess was called see-LEE-nee, and my sister's name is pronounced see-LEE-nee, but it is often mispronounced as see-LEEN or see-LEE-nu, and in one unfortunate case, su-LAH-mee. The pronunciation of any given name, however, is up to the person naming or named.
