I’ve seen it suggested here but there doesn’t seem to be a thread on this name. What do people think about it?

I’m not sure if it’s too out there for me but I recently started to like it. I see it’s growing in popularity but still outside top 100. Not that that bothers me much.

I like it, it’s on my list but have a suspicion DH is going to veto it.

Athena is nice enough.
Do you like Minerva?

Love the name Athena but my first thought on hearing it is of the poster shop and that picture of the knickerless tennis player.

It's a lot to live up to and sounds a bit too much like Anthea are my first thoughts.

Although my son had a friend at primary school called Minerva which did work for her.
