Athena??

Hi all! I was on here last week asking about my conundrum with the name Thea. I decided to not go with that one. However, I'm now falling in love the name Athena, and not just because of how it sounds.

Athena, in Greek mythology, was the Goddess of wisdom and my name means wisdom, so I thought it would be a sweet little link to me.

So, be honest with me. Athena - yay or nay? Is it usable?

Great name. Only know of one and it sounds a strong and creative name.

I know three young Athenas, and they are all lovely.

I know someone with a little Athena - it's cute!

I can't help but think of the poster shop from the 80s/90s. However I really like the similar name Athene so I think it's a yay from me overall.
