Not the same thing at all. I hardly know who
Selena Gomez is, and she's definitely not the first person I think of when I hear the name
Selena. Plus it's not like she goes by the one name like
Shakira does. Using
Shakira is more akin to using
Madonna imo, if you're not of Middle Eastern descent.
To OP, I totally think of the singer
Shakira. I suspect I'm not alone in that. :) I think it's a pretty name though. I also love
Maryam.
