I like it but I like
Alethea
so much more that it does seem a pale reflection.

I like
Alethea
as well. I just prefer it as a middle name, particularly to
Rose
. I'd never use it as a first name because a lot of people tend to pronounce it ə-LEE-thee-ə which I despise. I prefer al-ə-THEE-ə.
Thanks!

Alethea
is melodious, but it seems like
Elysia
with a speech impediment. This makes me prefer
Althea
. But
Anthea
is my true preference.
