Hi guy! Do you like the name Seraphina or Athena better?

Athena

HaNNaHC92 · 20/03/2021 23:32

Not keen on either personally, but Athena is the better one

lottiegarbanzo · 20/03/2021 23:33

Seraphina, I like it.

TheRaccoon · 20/03/2021 23:33

Athena

BackforGood · 20/03/2021 23:37

I don't like either, but Athena is less bad

Cissyandflora · 20/03/2021 23:39

Athena is the posters of the 80s. It’s fine though because the child would grow into the name.

Athena

Seraphina.

Both are pretty but Athena has a stronger, less frilly feel imo (probably a combo of the Goddess of wisdom/warfare link and having one less syllable), so would be my preference.

If you're interested in names in a similar style that are equally uncommon you might also like Marina or Serena. There's also Selena and Sabrina (they have similar but less obvious Goddess/Heavenly links as Athena and Seraphina).

Seraphina is beautiful.

Athena reminds me of that poster shop from the 80s, and the look and sound of it isn't as attractive to me as Seraphina.

Athena

Athena

partyatthepalace · 21/03/2021 02:31

Both lovely - I’d go for whatever went best with surname. Slight preference for Athena.

Amdone123 · 21/03/2021 03:25

Seraphina.

Vomadetroit · 21/03/2021 13:50

Athena

Noodlesnoodlesnoodles · 21/03/2021 13:56

Athena - less frilly and seems like a stronger name in terms of its meaning and history.

PandaFluff · 21/03/2021 14:29

I like Athena but it does remind me of the poster shop and Anthea.

Seraphina by a mile. Lovely name.
