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!)
My mum named me Selina but I didn't like it at all so I stopped using it.
This is a pretty name. Much better and more historical than Selena.
