Hello! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are pretty sure we’re going to name baby girl number 2 Celine/Selene, we just can’t decide with spelling/origin/meaning we want to go with (they’re both gorgeous ). We also don’t really have any idea for middle names to pair with Celine/Selene because all the names we’ve previously liked sound really choppy when paired with her, unfortunately.
She is joining big sister [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_u]Camille[/name_u] and our surname begins with P!
I would say Celine as it’s a more tailored, Frenchy look to me to match Flora Camille - but I can see the pp’s point that it is visually close to Camille - not that it really matters as it’s a middle but they do look alike.
To me, Celine is sleek and stylish, and Selene is warmer, friendlier and more fun. My normal preference is Celine and it’s possible you’ll get a few pronunciation issues with Selene.
Some middles (all with Celine but some suit the Selene spelling better):
Take or leave: a related name you might like which I think goes a bit better with Flora and is more equitable across the sisters is Celeste (Celine is a variation of Celeste).
