Like the meaning - truth or truthful one - and sounds good with surname
But is it too obscure?
Also I wd pronounce it Al-e-THEE-a - would most people?

I think Alethea (A-lee-thee-uh) is a fantastic name. It's Greek for truth, so is good if you want a virtue name.

Althea is a much older name from the myths (mother of Meleager).

Gorgeous name, plenty of scope for nicknames. I would pronounce it with the stress on the first e though.
