DH wants to use the name Chelsea. Tack galore?

Our daughter's first name will be Athena. I want Helen (my Mum's name), as her middle name. I highly dislike multiple middle names and so does DH.

He is set on having Chelsea as the middle name. He would've had it as a first name if I agreed.

Chelsea is his football club. Chelsea is where DD will be born.

AIBU to say it's tack galore? Do you think it's tacky? She'll be born in Chelsea and her Father is Chelsea. I cannot get passed it being terribly tacky and distasteful.

Sad

Athena Kate is beautiful Smile
Is there a family connection or meaning behind Kate, or do you just like the name?

I like Athena Kate.

Helen Chelsea sounds like Hell-In-Chelsea Grin

Love Athena Kate! Great choice op.

I prefer Athena Helen. But it's nice, yes.

My little sister is called Caitlin but we call her Katie so yes, family connection Grin

I have another sister but I dislike her name Blush

Of all your names I love Helen the best.

I quite like Chelsy but only because I like the sassy Chelsy Davy .ha ha

Perhaps your husband will choose Chelsea as a nick name anyway??
Could you compromise with a C name instead of Chelsea or Athena.
Some Greek names are - Calandra, Callissa, Calliope, Callidora. Then there are Charlotte, Cara, Carla or the Scottish Caledonia.
The CH initials might be enough for him.
