Saffron or Athena?

My top two keep changing! One feels too grown up the other I worry is not grown up enough!

What would you expect the parents of a Saffron and a (non-Greek) Athena to be like?

Saffron is lovely. Athena just makes me think of the eighties poster shop so it feels dated to me.

I absolutely love Saffron, it's so pretty and unique Smile I really like Athena as well but out of the two I think Saffron wins it

Sorry to say but I do like both. Do prefer Athene though.

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/01/2014 20:33

Athena. Definitely.

Saffron, but probably because i know a Saffron who has a huge personality and is an absolutely adorable 7 year old Grin

Anthena is a poster/picture shop for the 70s.

Hmm. Saffron from Ab Fab.
Would it get shortened to Saffy? Not sure I like that.

I begged dh to let me name our dd Athena but he wouldn't budge! Sad its such a pretty feminine name without being too frilly imo.

I really like Saffron too but would choose Athena out of the 2. Both are unusual but not too out there or pretentious.

Love Athena... It was that or my current DD2's name and I went the other way.

I could never use it even if I had a DD3 because it rhymes with the name we did choose Wink

Do it! I'll be jealous Smile

Both names Lovely. My Greek friend is called Athena. We pronounce it A...th...na. No theeee bit.

ChristineDaae · 17/01/2014 18:44

I think they are both very different names, not ones I would expect to find on the same persons list if you know what I mean.
I do love Saffron though. It's on my list

Saffron, I love that name. And Saffie :-)
