@AStudyIn_Scarlet[name_f][/name_f] Hello, [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f]! So, you love [name_f]Athena[/name_f] more than any other name, which poses a problem. Youāre having a hard time deciding on brother names for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] (and Cleo/Hermione) and a middle name that matches your love for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] while still maintaing a consistent style!
[name_f][/name_f]
Off the bat, I will say that Iād nix [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], agreeing that it sounds a little cheesy. And although [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] is a part of [name_m]Roman[/name_m] mythology, I donāt think that should turn you off of him! I associate [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] with the planet [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m] before I associate it with mythology. And for what itās worth, I know a family with a N3ptune and an Ath3na (and a brother that has the first name of a very well-known composerās middle). I donāt think that [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] works with [name_f]Athena[/name_f], but I donāt totally mind [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f]
For some reason, [name_m]Osric[/name_m] is really sticking out to me as a suggestion for you. Not sure if that is something youād be interested in, but I really wanted to mention him as my first suggestion! Iād say go for something thatās classic/well-known, but with a lot of spunk, spirit, and power!
[name_f][/name_f]
I actually think the majority of your boys list really works with Athena!! [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] from your top five stick out to me. From the extended list, I can easily imagine: [name_m]Achilles[/name_m], [name_m]Altair[/name_m], [name_m]Arcturus[/name_m], Area, [name_m]Astrophel[/name_m], [name_m]Beowulf[/name_m], [name_m]Cecil[/name_m], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_m]Cosimo[/name_m], [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] (feels stronger than [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], which makes it a better match for [name_f]Athena[/name_f], in my opinion!), [name_m]Emrys[/name_m], [name_m]Endymion[/name_m], [name_m]Evren[/name_m], [name_m]Fannar[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Helios[/name_m], [name_m]Hollis[/name_m] (softer, but the name still has a weight to it that matches Athena), [name_m]Horatio[/name_m], [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_m]Hyperion[/name_m], [name_m]Icarus[/name_m], [name_f]Indigo[/name_f], [name_m]Jupiter[/name_m], [name_m]Keir[/name_m], [name_m]Keiran[/name_m], [name_m]Loki[/name_m], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Malachi[/name_m], [name_m]Mercury[/name_m], [name_m]Meridian[/name_m], [name_m]Odysseus[/name_m], [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m], [name_m]Pax[/name_m] (think these match really well!), [name_m]Percival[/name_m], [name_f]Phaedra[/name_f], [name_m]Phoenix[/name_m], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Ragnar[/name_m], [name_m]Regulus[/name_m], [name_m]Remus[/name_m], [name_m]Romulus[/name_m], [name_m]Saturn[/name_m], [name_m]Sirius[/name_m], [name_m]Solaris[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], [name_m]Theseus[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Vulcan[/name_m], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_m]Zigmund[/name_m], [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m], and Zephyr!!

I donāt think you could go wrong with really any name on your list [name_f][/name_f]- particularly if you gave [name_f]Athena[/name_f] a āsofterā and more common middle (whether that be [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Esmeray[/name_f], [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], etc) and, say, [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] a more unique middle (like your [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] Apollo). Quite honestly, I think [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] work well together!
[name_f][/name_f]
As for Athenaās middle, I totally get what you mean about her being a little hard to match. Some names are just like that, I feel like. When a first name is your absolute favorite, itās difficult to find a middle you love so much, sometimes all you can do is find a combo that you like together, even if the middle isnāt a favorite! At least that is how I feel.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] is a great combo, and Iām hesitant to say let it go. Itās very meaningful to you clearly, but sometimes things just feel a bit off some days. That is okay and completely valid! [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is nice too, but I understand how you feel about the popularity. Iām not Turkish, so I canāt say you should or shouldnāt use [name_f]Esmeray[/name_f]. I want to say that I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f]! Iād say itās my absolute favorite for your girl, apart from the OG [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f] I donāt think it sounds harsh, but I can see why you might. It seems like you like to balance a soft first with a āhardā middle, and vise versa. [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f] doesnāt follow that pattern, despite being lovely!
