I like Althea better, it just rolls off the tongue whereas Anthea sounds kind of choppy to me. Athena is nice but would be harder to wear than Althea or Anthea.

Althea is probably my favorite of the three, just because I like L sounds in names in general, but I also like Athena and Anthea. I slightly prefer Athena to Anthea, but in some ways I think Athena is a harder name for a person to carry (at least where I live).

I love Anthea, and Althea. I like them both more than Athena, I can't put my finger on why Athena rubs me the wrong way.

I think if I had to pick one to use, it would be Anthea. There's something friendly about it. Althea is a bit more coolly ethereal.

Love: Anthea
Like: Athena
Neutral: Althea

I first heard the name Anthea from the BBC show “Sherlock” and I’ve loved it ever since.
