Amaya v Athena

We are expecting DC2 later this year, already have DS called Theo. We know we are having a daughter and I really like Greek inspired names - DH however won't agree to my favourite name of Eleni - ggrrrr!!! His favourite is Amaya and although I quite like it, I also like Athena but is this too close to Theo?

Love Eleni. Athena is too close to Theo imo.

Amaya is nice too but might get mistaken for Maya which is very popular atm.

Amaya.

Yes Athena is too similar to Theo.

I love Amaya that was my choice for a girl but we had a boy. There is a girl at work called Eleni but lots of people struggle to pronounce it so she is now just known as Ellie.
