Athena??

Hi all! I was on here last week asking about my conundrum with the name Thea. I decided to not go with that one. However, I'm now falling in love the name Athena, and not just because of how it sounds.

Athena, in Greek mythology, was the Goddess of wisdom and my name means wisdom, so I thought it would be a sweet little link to me.

So, be honest with me. Athena - yay or nay? Is it usable?

I love the name Athena :)

It's lovely OP. It doesn't matter that the poster shop was called Athena does it?

Yep, like it.

I can't even remember the last time I saw an ATHENA. The name has been around so much longer than the shop.

There’s one in my DD’s class and I love it.

Hate it, but that’s because its the name of a work project I’m involved in (Athena SWAN).

It is otherwise a good name!

I remember thinking that shop was the height of sophisticated good taste when I was about ten! Also really like the name.

DD1's middle name is Athene.
