Which Greek name do you like best?

kleopatra09 · July 2010

Alexandria or Athena ?

Ilumine · July 2010

I like Athena better (only because I HATE Alex or Lexie as NNs).

But have you thought of Thea?

LadyXaverian · July 2010

Athena because Alexandria is used more cross-culturally.

Athena is pretty and unique (in a good way).

Athena?

stacyslo · July 2010

Athena.

Thank you! that was my pick, DH is inbetween. I'll tell him it has been unanimous so far.

Thea is pretty, but translated it means "aunt".

athena for sure.

EmilyStL · July 2010

Athena. Both are pretty, but I've always thought Alexandria, at 5 syllables, is excessive.

Definitely Athena. I hate anything that starts with Alex--not only is it far too popular (ranked #4 when you adjust the SSA list for spelling variations, 25890 baby girls last year alone), but I always think of "Alexia, the inability to read due to cerebral trauma," which is not exactly the meaning I would want to go for.

Definitely Athena! So pretty, unusual, and regal.

Being Greek, I am partial to a few others. I am not a fan of Alexandria and I really don't like Athena. I do, however, love Aikaterine (or ending in a), Gia, Elissa, Nikoleta, and Kyriaki.
