Came across this and wondered what people's general opinions of it were?

Much prefer Alethea - it's softer. For some reason I find the sound of Althea (and similar Anthea) a bit harsh with all that emphasis on the first syllable.

I find Agatha so much more appealing - Aggie is cute too.

I've always really loved the name. One of my favourites

Makes me think of "and Donna".

I think of the quiz in Friends and it's the name of Monica & Ross's grandmother. But definitely an old lady name and not one of the nicer ones. It's a no from me.

I immediately thought "you're shooting with Althea? Nice shooting!"
