I had a friend named Selina but she wanted us to pronounce her name Seh-LYE-nah / sel-eye-na
I think it's more beautiful than Seh-LEE-nah.

I honestly love this name! My sister is named Selina and she is kind, loving and smart. She loves her name as well, and she's very proud of it. It is also very unique, and I love the spelling! When it comes to spelling… I recommend you to use this name instead of Selena.

I'm a Selina - named after my great grandmother. I've always loved my name and had lots of nice comments about it. It's not that common in the UK but I have met a couple of Selina's before (albeit with different spellings). I love that it's derived from the Greek moon goddess too! The shortened version in my family is Nina (which I love and use regularly) and occasionally Sel with work colleagues (which I don't like but people love to shorten things!)

I adore this name! My great-great-grandmother's name was Selina. I think it's so refined and romantic, and reminds me of a Victorian beauty.

Selina tends to be a name reserved for an elite class of women. They are amoung the most beautiful and tend to be able to understand the mind of the opposite sex. Thier beauty is only surpassed by thier intelligence.
