Help[Opinions] Diaphena
We are rewatching Parks and Rec, Diaphena is the name of the fictional Greek Centaur Goddess that a character paints.
What do you think of Diaphena?
Do you think it would be better if spelled Diathena? It is pronounced like a mixture of Diana or Diantha and Athena.

It makes me think immediately of the word diaphanous.
I'm getting a general feeling that all these names are too similar to dia-words and not very namey. Diarrhea, diabetes, diaspora. Diathena makes me think "two Athenas." Diantha is nicer.

This. It sounds like a name for someone who's slightly see-through.

Diaphena is okay, but Diathena is not mostly because it sounds like "die Athena!" Otherwise it would sound pretty without that.
