Anthea

[peaceinourtime]

Hello all,

I love the name Anthea, what are your thoughts on using it?

Many thanks

If you love it,use it.

Beautiful! Softer on the lips than Andrea, and the "thea" part is right on trend. Not a common name in any generation, so it won't date.

I associate it with the 70s, there were a few at my school. I picture Anthea Turner and those snowflake bars at her wedding.
Due a revival.

Cringeworthy Anthea Turner. Nope from me.Sorry!

Sounds classy and special to me. I would use it!

I really love the name Anthea, classy, timeless, surprised it isn’t more popular, very rarely do you meet an Anthea. Great choice OP.

Yes, it’s good. Unusual. I’ve never met an Anthea.

Lovely name but it does make think of Anthea Turner. Althea is nice too.

Makes me think of Anthea Turner. I much prefer Althea or Athena.

My immediate thought is someone I know aged 80 who is quite grand.

But I imagine many people will think of Anthea Turner.

Unfortunately I immediately said ‘Turner’ in my head. Althea or Athena have a similar feel.

I like it (and yes I remember Anthea Turner), I also like Althea, they are both nice names.

Like others I also prefer Althea. I just think of Anthea Turner for Anthea. I guess that’s a generational thing though - her peers wouldn’t think that but their parents might.

Lovely name - makes me think of Anthea from 5 Children and It. So a classic Edwardian name in my head. For some reason it doesn’t make me think of Anthea Turner - I think because I never hear her called just “Anthea” - she’s always referred to with both names “Anthea Turner” in my head I think!

I read it as Athena and thought it was lovely, then realised and I don't like Anthea :( as PP it reminds me of Anthea Turner

I really like Athena though! :-D

Not keen. Never met a nice one sorry.

I loke it and I dont think the anthea turner issue is a problem. Ita showing your age to remember her

Some of us remember Anthea Redfern

Give us a twirl not snowflake, that's the other Anthea

Won't date and is even refreshing almost

It's a lovely name. The only Anthea I know is a woman at my work and she's so very awful, a real moaner , likes to corner people for a good old gripe, 😆which is so at odds with such a refreshing name.

It's great to hear positive feedback on the name Anthea. I realise that its not all that common.

I like it 😌

I don't like it at all, sorry.

Nice, Anthea Turner is pretty harmless/perfectly nice so who cares if people think of her

Also like Athena
