So I really love the name [name_f]Athena[/name_f], but can [name_f]Thea[/name_f] be a nickname for it?
I really love the name [name_f]Thea[/name_f], but it feels more like a nickname to me. I know it can be a nickname for [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] or other names, but I really love [name_f]Athena[/name_f].
Could it work? I’d really like to know people’s opinions.
I think [name_f]Thea[/name_f] could easily be a nickname for [name_f]Athena[/name_f]. I love both names!
Yes! I think it works well.
Of course! It isnt a stretch at all
Totally! I love [name_f]Thea[/name_f] by itself, but [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is also lovely and I can definitely see [name_f]Athena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
Definitely works. I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f], and I am starting to love [name_f]Thea[/name_f], so if I had to nn [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] would be my choice.
Yes it works!
Yes it could. Also, have you considered [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] or [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]? I love those.
Definitely can! 
Most definitely, they fit seamlessly!
