I love the name [name_f]Athena[/name_f] but can’t think of any nicknames other than [name_f]Thea[/name_f] (close family member). Any ideas?
[name_f]Athie[/name_f]
Thena
[name_f]Ena[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f]
These are probably a bit of a stretch
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Attie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tea[/name_f] (tee-uh)
[name_f]Fifi[/name_f]
For her kid years you could probably use Na-na, but I don’t know how long it would last. [name_f]Athena[/name_f]'s a pretty short name already.
[name_f]Tina[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Ina[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f]
This is tough one – you might want to consider what you’ll use for a middle name and utilize that in creating the nickname. A few ideas:
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] = [name_u]Arie[/name_u] or [name_f]Amy[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] = [name_u]Ali[/name_u]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] = [name_f]Aggie[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] = AJ
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Demetria[/name_f] = [name_f]Addie[/name_f]
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] = [name_u]Abby[/name_u]
The only ones I can think of that haven’t already been suggested are [name_f]Aina[/name_f] (eye-nah) and [name_f]Anya[/name_f]. Also [name_f]Pallas[/name_f] (another name for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] the goddess) or [name_f]Olive[/name_f] (a symbol of the goddess) though these two are a stretch.
I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Nina[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and nicknames.
Lots of good options here.
My only thought to add would be [name_u]Grey[/name_u], for the “grey-eyed [name_f]Athena[/name_f]” epithet.
