Which name is more of a classic?

[Milasmummy]

Which name do you consider more classic/traditional/timeless and least faddy.

Selina (or selena) or Lara .

Narrowed it down to these two now.

Many thanks

Selina.

To be honest neither of them are classic names but I would go with Lara.

I think Laura because of Doctor Zhivago. It's also more elegant than Selina... Selina seems very 80s rah.

I'd say neither are particularly 'classic' but I'd pick Lara

Sorry, Lara!

Selina is more timeless; Lara is lovely but quite trendy

I agree with PP, neither are classic but Lara more so than Selena (selina spelling reminds me of a chemical element!).

Neither of them are either classic or timeless really. Just choose the one you like best or which goes best with the surname. I'd choose Lara, personally.

Lara. Unless you were asking about Serena, in which case I'd choose that!

Selina ( or maybe Serena?)

Lara I think.

Snap SleepWarrior!

"Serena is a feminine given name. It is derived from the Latin word serēnus, meaning "clear, tranquil, serene". This name was borne by an obscure early saint, Saint Serēna of Rome."

Ooh yes, I'd pick Serena over Lara too.

I prefer Lara.

Maybe Seline or Celine?

Does it have to end in an "a"?

Erena?

Good luck!

Selene was the Greek goddess of the moon, so pretty classic(al)...

more so than Selena (selina spelling reminds me of a chemical element!).

Er...do you mean selenium?

Anyhow...
I don't think either of the names is exactly classic, but neither is faddy and they're both nice. Serena is nicer though.

Lara

More classy.

Selena sounds dated, to me.

I much prefer Lara out of the two.

OlennasWimple, I think Selene is a beautiful choice! Elegant, romantic, strong and with an air of mystery. Beautiful choice.

I prefer Celine or Serena. Lara is a bit 80s, it's not quite due a comeback yet, is it?

Lara

Love selina. Taught the loveliest selina once, she was a delight, so always gives me good vibes.

Selena

Selina
