There is a tradition of naming your children after deities in the Realms (so you might name your son 'Torm' or 'Helm'). Due to the shared name, deities are aware of them every time you say their name.
And then some bastards out there are calling their daughters 'Seluneshar.'
The good news is that deities tend to tune out most of the noise of their name being invoked and the constant wave of prayer (because it's apparently like discordant thunder directly in your ears 24/7 and they have to tune it out and selectively focus on only the important things or snap in the divine equivalent of sensory overload), so the goddesses are probably tuning these unfortunate girls out, but if I were them I would be side-eyeing my parents for giving me a name that invites that kind of attention...
