A name like Athena that isn't Athena!

Does that make sense? Friends have a DD called Athena, I love the name. Wasn't keen at first but it's really grown on me Smile

Can anyone suggest a name like Athena?

Thanks

We already have a DD with who's an 'H' so maybe not Hero. Also Myleene Klass has a DD called Hero, i really hope people link Hero to William Shakespeare and not Myleene Klass.....Hmm

Hero, Xanthe, Cosima and maybe Juno at a push!

Not sure about Appollonia. Sounds a bit like a late night caff on Green Lanes.

Love Cosima.
Hero or Hera
Juno
Xanthe
Allegra I love for its meaning but not sure about the 'leg' in the middle.
