Help[Opinions] Re: Athena
in reply to a message by honeypie
The goddess is interesting, but after reading the myth of Arachne as a kid, I didn't have a great impression of Athena.
I heard it as a person's (rather than a goddess's) name in 2002 in a movie, and I had a similar reaction to yours (it seemed striking and elegant).
Now that popularity has gone up in the US, it seems softer, which isn't bad...less striking but still elegant. Similar to how I see Zoe, Freya, Aurora, Althea.
I'd pick Athena Jane as a combo right now.
Other middle names...
Athena Hippolyta
Athena Gwendolen
Athena Mercedes
Athena Mercy
Athena Patience
Athena Olivia
Athena Olive
Athena Polly
Athena Polydora
Athena Rebecca
