  1. I chose Selene because i conceived on a full moon, and wanted to name her after something relating to the moon. Selene was the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology.

  2. We found out we were having a girl and I wanted something meaningful. My husband at the time came from several generations of farmers. Everything his family talked about had a moon reference. Even throughout my pregnancy, his family would determine her birth date by moon phase. I thought it was so interesting, and all the girls in his family have S names, so we chose Selene. Plus it’s Kate Bekensales name in the underworld movies and she’s my fav!!!!

  3. My husband and I like choosing names that are meaningful. Selene is the goddess of the moon and her name means heaven:moon. We also love how it sounds
