After having come across these names multiple times, they have really started to grow on me recently. To make me obsess over these names throw all your positive thoughts about them towards me ():
[name_f]April[/name_f] (small negative: if they weren’t born in [name_f]April[/name_f] even though the 3 April’s I’ve known ironically weren’t)
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] (small negative: maybe too associated with Greece and Athens)
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] (small negative: despite being religious, I’m not catholic/christian - aka the religion this name is most associated with but the only [name_f]Faith[/name_f] I know ironically is non-religious)
I really like [name_f]April[/name_f], I think it sounds nice and sweet, warm and friendly. It’s also known but not popular.
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] - I actually don’t think it’s too associated with Greece at all. It’s regal and classic and elegant, obviously giving goddess vibes
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] - as a [name_u]Christian[/name_u] I love this one, also love the possibilities of Faye/Faia as a nickname both of which I think are beautiful. I don’t think it has to scream Christianity though, it’s a word name…but if faith generally in anything isn’t important to you it maybe would be a little weird to value it. But I would say most people have faith in something even if it’s not a deity

Okay, I will start off by saying I love [name_f]Athena[/name_f]! It’s my favourite girl name and I would totally name my daughter that. For the same reason, I really don’t find anything negative with her. She’s perfect
[name_f]April[/name_f] - I know one [name_f]April[/name_f] and another [name_f]Avril[/name_f], and both of them weren’t born in [name_f]April[/name_f]. I honestly think it would be on-the-nose only if they were born on that day/in that month and were named after it.
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] - I think, yes, [name_f]Faith[/name_f] is associated with religion and Christianity in particular, but it isn’t much of a problem. I don’t think anyone would assume Faith’s parents or herself were religious.

[name_f]April[/name_f] ~ timeless, charming in a little-old-lady way, pale yellow and green, the scent of lavender, unexpected and fresh, makes me think of the lovely Simon and Garfunkel song
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] ~ it is very associated with the goddess and Greece for me but in an empowering way - it has a strength and golden glow, the sun hitting stone temples, I picture a confident and glowing girl who knows her worth!
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] ~ ‘faith’ as a concept doesn’t just apply to Christianity, it’s something we all encounter in one way or another and I think it’s a lovely word to be named after. To me [name_f]Faith[/name_f] has a lovely soft, slightly ethereal sound and I think of Fay/Fae as well which gives it a slight fairy vibe… [name_f]Faith[/name_f] in my mind is someone sweet and kind with a sunny smile, a dreamer
Also random synaesthesia comment but all these are varying degrees of yellow to me! [name_f]April[/name_f] is a very pale butter-yellow, [name_f]Athena[/name_f] is golden and warm, [name_f]Faith[/name_f] is like a primrose or buttercup.

[name_f]April[/name_f] is really fresh, like [name_f]April[/name_f] in the northern hemisphere itself. I think we are both in a part of the world where [name_f]April[/name_f] is green and breezy, full of new flowers and plenty of rain.

[name_f]April[/name_f] - pretty, distinctive, and unlike other names in look and sound. It’s solid and familiar but not over used. I like how it could have a couple of unusual nicknames (Ali, Aylee/Ayli, Pip)
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] - magical, bright and floral, but strong and grounded too. I think it’s popular enough that it’s not too tied to Greece or [name_u]Athens[/name_u], but it does have a cool, mythological feel.
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] - warm, gentle but strong, and pleasing in sound. I think you can have [name_f]Faith[/name_f] in various ways
