Help[Opinions] Re: Athena and Austen
in reply to a message by juli-faye
LOVE IT.
I think that Athena is a bit lofty for a girl, but your nickname is fitting. You cannot dislike the name Athena for a girl since she represents wisdom, strength, and invention, but that doesn't mean she has to tell everyone that it is her full name.
As for Austen, I was all prepared to tell you how much I dislike it as it has become such a trendy name, until you explained your reason. I adore Jane Austen, and she deserves namesakes. I have always thought it unfortunate that Jane is such a plain name.
I named my own daughter after a female author of about 35 years later than Austen, and I admire your choice. Funny how sometimes the explanation of a name's choice completely changes other people's perceptions of it.
