[Opinions] Re: Althea
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
It's a cool name. I think there was a contestant on Project Runway named Althea so it makes me think of a pretty, cool, artsy girl (which is an awesome image if you ask me).
I think Althea sounds best with middle names that have 3 syllables, especially those with a strong first syllable, like:
Althea Bernadette
Althea Cecily
Althea Clementine
Althea Genevieve
Althea Margaret
Althea Josephine
Althea is an old name, but it peaked in US popularity in the 20s. Most people of that time have passed away, so it's sort of new and stylish in the bringing-back-the-unheard-of-oldies kind of way. I think it should be paired with a name to balance that: a really solid, classic, feminine name, like Margaret or Catherine.
