Aurelia’s sister: Ophelia or Athena?

[Sailinghappy]

These are our last two favourites, although we definitely prefer one to the other. Looking for opinions generally - are either of them too similar to our daughter’s name perhaps? Many thanks!

Aurelia and Ophelia are very similar. How about Athene (Ath-eeny)?

Ophelia sounds to similar to Aurelia in my opinion. I'd go with Athena.

Thanks both! Athena is our absolute favourite and Ophelia is the only other option we like. Looks like Athena may be the one!! 🙌🙌🙌

Aurelia and Ophelia is a hell of a mouthful!!

Ophelia's such s burlesque name though. The jokes on that will be pretty tough in school.

Ophelia bum etc.

Powerful goddess of wisdom or wronged woman who drowns herself? It's a toughie.

Shared initials might be a PITA when they start getting mail! I prefer Ophelia but both nice

I'd go with Athena.

Athena is much nicer than Ophelia.

They are both a bit similar sounding. However all lovely names. If you are drawn to Shakespearean or mythological names how about:
Persephone
Rosalie
Cordelia
Mariana
Marina
Phoebe
Portia
Serene
Penelope
Cassandra
Calliope
Larissa

Athena used to sell trendy posters back in my day.

Ophelia sounds far too similar to Aurelia.

Aurelia and Athena. Just roll off the tongue together. Ophelia is awful

Athena. It’s a beautiful name

I’m really glad I posted, we were pretty much decided on Athena anyway and this thread has just confirmed what we were thinking! Thanks very much everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

Aurelia is a fab name. Surely her sister must be Argentia?

I like the pp suggestion of Athene.

Aurelia and Athena are both nice but a bit too similar IMO.

I agree Athena is the much better option and goes far better with Aurelia x

Ophelia... Hamlet springs to mind for me. Driven to madness and kills herself.

Go with the other one 😂

Don’t get the hate for the name Ophelia. Burlesque, silly ‘I feel ya’ jokes, and blah blah blah Shakespeare. Are we forgetting the prostitute in Trading Places? Too similar to Aurelia but I see you’ve decided on Athena. Lovely names

Yes, go for Athena. Lovely unusual name.

Aurelia and Ophelia sound ridiculous together, sorry.

I don't like Athena, but it's better.

Athena makes me think of the poster of the tennis player scratching her arse. Sorry.

Aurelia and Ophelia sound far too similar, plus there's the tragic story. Personally i think Aurelia and Athena are a bit matchy too, I'd go for Athene or avoid an A name altogether and pick something like Cassandra, Ginevra or Minerva.

Athena
