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

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

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

Just makes me think of this! I think it's quite nice actually, I really like a 'th' sound in a name

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!"
