I’m really considering [name\_f]Celina[/name\_f] for if my baby is a girl. I love it, it’s not even in the top 1,000 but it’s easily recognized [name\_f]IMO[/name\_f] & I love its nicknames. However I’m worried about the popularity of [name\_f]Selena[/name\_f] which is essentially the same name… it’s currently ranked 249 in the US. [name\_m]How[/name\_m] popular is a top 300 name? Anyone have any experience with semi-popular names… ---

I only know one little girl named [name\_f]Selena[/name\_f], she’s about 5 I think. I don’t think of it as a common name, but it may depend on where you live. ---

I don’t know anyone named [name\_f]Selena[/name\_f]. FWIW, my daughter’s name was in the 300s the year of her birth, and between 200-400s for the last twenty years or so, and I have yet to meet anyone, child or adult, with the same name. ---
