Not out there at all! A lovely name!

Enko · 28/08/2019 15:10

Its a beautiful name I have just suggested it on another thread prior to reading this.

whattodowith · 28/08/2019 11:00

Love it, there’s an Athena in my DDs class.

MondeoFan · 27/08/2019 21:44

I like it, always have tbh

IsobelRae23 · 27/08/2019 21:29

I love this name!

daisypond · 27/08/2019 13:21

It’s good. I know one aged about six.

Lilaclady9 · 27/08/2019 13:17

I know an Athena.
I think it's a lovely name! Definitely not too out there.

I had a Xmas temp work with me once with this name, she was always complemented on it, lovely name but before meeting her I did think of the shop!!!! Definitely go with it

theDudesmummy · 26/08/2019 14:42

I think Athena is nice. I know someone who actually changed her name from another name to Athena!

GigiIdid · 26/08/2019 14:41

It’s beautiful, reminds me of the Paulo Coelho book “the witch of portobello”

Antonin · 26/08/2019 14:20

I mean Athene — bloody auto correct

Antonin · 25/08/2019 21:54

Athena is lovely. To me Atheneum sound vey oldfashioned

Frith2013 · 25/08/2019 21:43

I prefer Athene but Athena is ok.

EdWinchester · 25/08/2019 20:44

Hardly out there, but I don't like it.

Dorsetcamping · 25/08/2019 20:42

I adore Athena (did classical civilisation A level)
Also love Persephone and Isis, although the latter is certainly out of favour!

Geekynzmum · 25/08/2019 19:53

I love it as a name too. It's not popular but still well known enough to not be out of this world.

Colourfulest · 25/08/2019 19:47

It's definitely on the rise!

is this name too ridiculous and out there?
BikeRunSki · 25/08/2019 19:47

Not really out there

SemperIdem · 25/08/2019 19:45

I think it.

I know an Athena, in her early 30’s.

dementedma · 25/08/2019 19:44

Its nice. I also know an Athene which is lovely

GrannyHaddock · 25/08/2019 19:38

Great!

Peachbubble · 25/08/2019 19:13

I like it. I know one aged 7.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 25/08/2019 19:07

Athena: wise choice of name Wink

Grinchly · 25/08/2019 19:01

I'm not one at all for unusual names generally, but I do think Athena is lovely.

Masharla · 25/08/2019 18:57

Athena is a beautiful name.

We went for a name from Greek mythology with Ilithyia :)
