Athena?

Is the name Athena too much? I see a lot of people saying “she’ll have a lot to live up to” but our son is called Beau so I feel like they’re on the same level. What middle names go well with Athena and what nicknames could be used?

I like it 😊 Thea for a nickname maybe

I love Athena 😍

I like the name Athena. I know an Athena and she never had any problems with that name. People will always have thier comments.

Middle name ideas: Athena Elain Athena Arlene Athena Rowe Athena Louise Possible nickname: Thea

My little sister is called Athena, her middle names are Saffron Rose, and we called her ‘Fifi‘ as a little girl, which as she became an adult often just gets shortened to ‘Fi’. I’m only 3 years older than her so to me I’ve only ever known it and probably didn’t realise until I got older it was an uncommon name, 20+ years ago it was anyway, to me was really normal. I love her name, if she wasn’t called Athena I’d consider it for my own children, it’s beautiful xxx

Athena is pretty trendy at the moment so don’t think there’s anything to worry about

A name is a name and Athena is a beautiful name at that. I don’t think you, your child, or the next person has to live up to anyone else’s standards. I would just ignore that dumb comment altogether. If you love the name then use it girl.

I like it! I think a one syllable, quite classic middle name would go well, eg Belle Grace Hope Rose Jane

Love Athena ❤️ it's my top girl name, don't worry about what others think. As long as you like it that is all that matters 😊

I knew an Athena in high school, she was a nerd buuuut I remember I loved her name so much! And I rememberer and it to This day

People say that about god/goddess names… but names like Atlas, Apollo, Hercules, Artemis, Calliope, Persephone aren’t that rare anymore. There’s lots of other mythological names that have become mainstream too, like Phoenix. But I do think it’s on a whole different level than Beau, tbh

I taught an Athena, the name suited her. Her brothers are Theon and Adonis (a name he did not live up to, bless him!)
