final decision on name

DH and had a lot of trouble agreeing but we finally came up with Selena. It's greek too and not too common but not too bizarre. I know it's also similar to Athena but it's not quite as bad because with the A everyone kept saying Althena and this nobody has messed up. (I'm sure I probably will!)
Now a middle name: Selena Althea doesn't go too well but we could use Selena Nicole. Hubby says Selena Celeste (Celeste is my middle name) but I think it's too many S sounds.
What do you think?

I pick Selena Nicole too and the name goes really well with Athena. No mixing them up now.

Personally I think it's cute that they rhyme (Selena and Athena). They are similar without being confusing (or easy to mess up).

I place my vote for Selena Nicole (Selena Celeste is pretty, but Selena Nicole just rolls off the tongue better in my opinion)

Congrats =D
