[Opinions] Selene or Celine
Replies
I like both, but prefer Selene because of its etymology, history, spelling and usage.
The Spanish pronunciation coincides with the Greek one, so that's how I pronounce it.

1. Selene, it looks nicer and it's more clearly "moon"
2. I usually pronounce it seh-LEEN but I'll say seh-leh-neh if I'm trying to be more accurate to Greek

I prefer Celine. I've always thought they were pronounced the same.
I pronounce them differently: Selene has three syllables (emphasis on the second), whereas Celine had two.

Selene
Suh Leen
Suh Leen
Selene. It looks softer and more elegant to me. I would instinctively pronounce it suh-LEEN.
Hi!
I like both.
Being Italian Selene is pronounced "as in Ancient Greek" (actually nobody knows it but based on Modern Greek would be ok). So Selene is immediately seh-LEH-neh to me.
I like Céline (as in French) because of its elegant sound and look and I like its link with Céline Dion.
Two great names. I added both to my PNL years ago.
