I really like [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] Celste from your signature).
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] is cute but I’m not sure if I like the styles together, however, as you seem to like mixing styles, I like this combo for you.
[name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] is nice, too, just not for me (it’s always been rather heavy while [name_f]Athena[/name_f] feels quite light to me).
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is pretty, too, however, I don’t love the flow and feel like both names would shine more in other combinations.

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is absolutely beautiful!

I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f]! [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is gorgeous. I think I’d prefer [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] to [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f].

I’m not wild about [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], partially because I don’t like it aesthetically, but also because it feels thematically contradicting: [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is a Greek goddess, while [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] conjures the image of [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] of Christianity. The combo feels kind of…confused.

By the way, I think [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be stunning!

I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], it feels so strong and powerful and warrior-queen-esque. It would also depend on the second middle for me though, and how well all the names worked together.

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] is the name I always forget how much I love until someone brings it up!
I voted for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], but [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is also lovely.
I like the idea of something soft and naturey to balance out the beautiful strength of [name_f]Athena[/name_f].

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]

I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u] as a MN so I had to vote for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. It makes me think of snowfall and iced over water, which is a pretty mental image, and it sounds strong, like the goddess herself is.

Thank you to all for voting & giving me your thoughts/suggestions! I think I’ve narrowed it down to [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. I agree with the person who said [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] sounds like a style mismatch, so that’s off the list. Thank you all for your thoughts!! Now just looking for second middles :slight_smile:
