    As in saline drip? Maybe her life was saved before by a drip?

    But possibly a variation of Seline/Celine/Selina.

    Thank you Anon and AW.

    Possibly phonetic based, and quite possibly a variation. It is hard to tell with Hongkies and the way they, or their parents, choose their novel names. Lol.

    I wonder if she notices the irony of being named Saline and working at a science museum.

    Thanks Joyce. I think most Hongkongers with novel names know and relish in their irony and quirkiness.

    It's the ego, arrogance and ignorance, all mixed in. That's my take, anyhoo.
