WDYT of Anthea or Antheia? I am leaning towards the first spelling but I'm curious as to peoples opinions. I really like the sound of it but I'm not sure if I would actually use it. Also, anyone have any suggestions for names with a similar feel?

I love Anthea and while I tend to gravitate towards default spellings, I'm afraid Theia and Antheia would be problematic.Similar names:
Alethea
Anastasia
Alana, Alanna
Angela
Alicia
Athena

I really like Anthea. I like the combo Anthea Jane.
Anthea is the name of the sister of a former workmate. I could take it or leave it once but now I think it's charming, fits well with current naming trends, and has the merit of being fresh and underused.

I like Anthea. Antheia looks odd to me.What about other epithets? Someone mentioned Itonia recently. Metanira (f)
Amalthea (f)
Orcus (m)- Roman name for Pluto
