Athena or Venessa?

I love both - Slight away towards Athena because of the Venessa in Gavin and Stacey

Which do you like best?

No. Just no. To both.
Athena - poster shop
Vanessa - 1970's and not nice.

Athena is awful.

Vanessa is really, really awful.

Sorry.

Athena if you’re greek- not otherwise.

Athena

You don't hear Athena much if ever round here (SE London)

It's lovely and I'd go for it over Vanessa

Sneezewitch · 24/09/2019 20:01

Vanessa sounds like someone trying to whisper a nicer name.

I like Athena though.

AverageMummy · 24/09/2019 19:58

Both are awful but Athena a bit less so

Windydaysuponus · 24/09/2019 19:54

Sorry but Vanessa is bloody awful!!
We had Athena on our list.

Wizzbangpop · 24/09/2019 19:53

Athena every time
