Can't choose!

So DH and I are expecting our first daughter in December, we are almost done with our name choices and have come down to our favourite two but we just can't pick.

Rosie Veronica
Athena Victoria

Which one do you like best? And are we missing any weird association or possible bullying potential on either of these two names? Thanks xx

I used to know an Athene, would that be something you might like? Athena Victoria feels a bit ‘clunky’ with them both ending in a, but that’s just my personal opinion and there’s certainly nothing about either of your choices that stands out as fodder for bullies

Athena!

Rosie is a bit bland (sorry). Nothing wrong with it but just a bit dull.

Love them both! Haha not helpful.
I'd have to say I'm leaning towards Athena Victoria. I think it sounds lovely. Not a mouthful at all.
Rosie Veronica is lovely too, Veronica is so underused. I love Rosie but it's quite common, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Quite alot of Rose variations around recently.

But again both lovely names, I just think Athena is different but it sounds gorgeous and I love the story behind it. And Victoria will always be a top name for me I love it.

I like Rosie. Athena is a bit over the top.

Rosie Victoria was on our shortlist and so was Rosie Maeve. I lowkey want to reconsider Rosie Victoria but wondering if it's a slightly safe name choice. Nothing wrong with it but what is there's multiple Rosies and Victorias in her grade

If you like Veronica as a first name , Veronica Rose has a nice sound to it.

I love Rosie and Victoria, but not Athena. I think Veronica is awful. Sorry. Rosie Victoria would be nice

I love Athena. But Athena Victoria is a bit of a mouthful - Athena Rosie?
