Due date is fast approaching and can't decide. What name do you like?

I've heard of Althea, but not Athea?

Emily is lovely but very popular - just depends if that bothers you or not.

Elena is nice but kind of makes me think Helena without the H. Personally I would go for Helena or Eleanor.

Emily is my favourite of the three.

Haven't heard of Athea, sounds a bit like atheist! Quite like Althea, Anthea, Dorothea, Theadora though.

Thanks for the replies. I'm torn between Emily and Elena. Really like Emily but it is so popular which has put me off it a bit!

What about Emilia? I love it - nn Milly, Emmy or Mia.

I already know a few Emilia's I do really like that name.

I'm concerned with the pronunciation of Elena as some people say Elena like Ee lay nah and others like Elle LAN ah

How does Elena get pronounced in your family?
