Help[Opinions] Re: "celebrity baby"
in reply to a message by A
My first thought was that they must like eastern Mediterranean cities. A lot.
I'm by no means sold on Athena - not into geographical names in general, and the goddess is impossible to live up to. (I once knew an elderly, wrinkled, stooped, never-married lady named Venus. Enough said.) But Olivia makes Athena look thematic; not sure if that's good or bad. Olivia Athena would have been more mainstream - perhaps that's why they didn't go that route.
Alexandria is a mouthful and a half. Heck, even Alexandra is a mouthful! So it'll be shortened. To what? Alix, maybe?
I'd really have liked Alexa Clare and Olivia Someone - Athena would be OK in the middle.
