Athena is very cool, and I like the reason why you're thinking of using it. I think, of the names you listed, Miriam Athena and Rachel Athena work the best in terms of sound, and I like Rachel Athena best as a whole, feel, sound, etc included. Judith Athena makes me giggle - it feels like I have suddenly acquired a bad lisp when I say it! Besides which, I agree that Judith Cecilia is a fab combo and breaking it up would just be sad.
Michelle I like. I never used to but I've been thinking about it a lot lately and it's been growing on me. It's almost in PNL territory. Rachel Michelle is a tiny bit rhymey, but I do like Katarina Michelle. Is the namesake called Michael? Another option could be Michala (prn mi-KAH-la), which I find infinitely preferable to Michaela in sound.
Raphael Cosmas is kind of awesome. Raphael is normal enough that most people would have heard of it, and Cosmas is pretty cool as far as quirky middle names go. I wouldn't use it in the same sibset as Rachel though coz Raphael and Rachel are a bit matchy.
