i am back again with my quest to find the perfect middle name for athena. so far, my forerunner is athena rosalind but my love for her has been fading. i am finding an alternative to rosalind, as sweet as she may be, that i love wholeheartedly.

following are some names that i have considered in the past/am considering at the moment, along with the precise reason of why i love them (to give you an idea):

  • athena rosalind - rosalind appears in william shakespeare’s as you like it and edmund spenser’s the shepheardes calendar. the shakespearean character also inspired the name of uranus’s moon. also a nod to rosalind franklin, who discovered the molecular structure of dna.

  • athena maeve - queen of connacht in irish myth. both names are the epitome of ‘divine feminine’.

  • athena primrose - in the victorian flower language, primrose means “i can’t live without you.” it is one of the first spring flowers to bloom, and symbolises innocence, youth & new beginnings.

  • athena seren - seren is welsh for “star”. i love astronomy and would want something that is related to it as well.

  • athena belphoebe - belphoebe appears in edmund spenser’s the faerie queene as a representation of queen elizabeth i.

  • athena esmeray - esmeray means “dark moon” in turkish. i love the vibes of the name together with athena.

  • athena saffron - saffron is refined, classy, carefree and fun to me, all at the same time. it is also the name of one of the most expensive spices in the world.

  • athena morrigan - the mythological morrigan was the ancient goddess of war, often symbolised by a crow.

  • athena juliet - juliet was a character in shakespeare’s romeo & juliet.

so, berries, based on the names i already love with athena, what other names would you suggest to me? thank you!

love, scarlet

Trying some other Shakespearean names ~

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Innogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] (quite rhymey but I love both names individually so thought it was worth a listing)

And some others that I think sound brilliant with [name_f]Athena[/name_f] ~

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Pascaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Damaris[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_m]Merrion[/name_m]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Gwenllian[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Ruzenka[/name_f]

Based on your feedback to other replies, I thought of

[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Corliss[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Corisande[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Merewen[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]

Finally, as a variant of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] (I think) how about [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Mavery[/name_f]?
