Athene or Minerva?

[octaviarose]

Which do you prefer?

Minnie.

I'm assuming for a girl.
Minerva is a bit strange, TBH. Sounds like you're trying too hard to be original.
Athena, possibly. Could be lovely actually.
Athene, just weird.
If you want to go for goddesses, I'm sure you can find something better.

Athene is very nice.

Minerva reminds me of nervous.

I thought this was a thread about contraceptive options

Athene is far nicer than Minerva.

Definitely Athene.

Athene

Minerva will always have strong Harry Potter connections for me....

Prefer Athene, is it Ath-ene or A-thene?

Minerva reminds me of prof Mcgonagall in hp, she's a nice characther though but it's the only time I've ever heard of the name.

Isn't there a coil called Minerva?

Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, so same as Athene hence the link. Had no notion of the Harry Potter or coil connection!!

i was going to say that minerva reminds me of a contraception - the coil is called mirena, but i can't be sure that there isn't a coil called minerva. Im not feeling it tbh.

Quite like athene, but not sure about theeny, which i suppose is what it would be shortened to. Minnie on the other hand, i like that.

Minerva sort of reminds me nirvana as well.

Love Minerva! You have a great shortening, which Athene doesn't. Plus not sure people will know how to pronounce Athene. The Harry Potter connection will only be noted by people who like the books, so I think that would only be a positive thing IYSWIM.

I love Minerva. Prefer Athena to Athene.

I think there might be a contraceptive pill called Minerva. If not in the uk then somewhere else....

Don't like minerva but love Athene

Prefer Athene by far.

Athena/Athene, definitely. Wasn't there a baddie from the old camp Batman series called Minerva?
