[Opinions] Re: Athena and Michelle.

I think Athena Miriam / Miriam Athena would be spectacular, actually.
I'm not sure how you meant your use of this word, but I don't think naming a child should ever be 'humorous'.
Honestly, I've always found the name Michelle very ugly, and I can't see the appeal, but I do love the idea of honouring, so that makes it kind of neutral to me.
I've had 'Michelle' by the Beatles stuck in my head all day today :P
ETA: Sorry, forgot about Raphael Cosmas. I don't think it's too much at all, considering most people have heard the name Raphael.

Humorous
The way I meant that it would be funny to use the name that he wanted for so long. It would have meaning to us, of course, and to the family - but the story behind the name would be a humorous one. I've heard plenty of those stories in the past.
Miriam Athena - thanks. I like that a lot and I think Judith Cecilia and Miriam Athena would go well together.
I'm neutral on Michelle myself. I don't hate it but I don't like it either - it's more of a way to honor a cool guy.
