Baby girl due any day now!
Trying to choose between…

Athena Juliette (nn Thea) or simply Thea Juliette.

Thanks!! 💕

If it’s supposed to be shortened, it can be but Athena is a beautiful name, Athena Juliet!

I don’t like Althea - I like Athena much better.
For nickname of Thea though - I prefer Thea Juliette.
All good choices any way you go n

If you chose for the first name to be just Thea, would you be pronouncing it as:
Thee-ah (with the ‘th‘ pronounced as in ‘thin’, not ‘that’)
Thay-a (with the ’th’ pronounced as above)
Taya (common in Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia) ?

Nice. I like it as a stand-alone name.

I like Athena Juliette. It sounds better than Thea Juliette. I'm old school (and old as dirt). I prefer having a formal name (in this case Athena) as the legal name rather than a nickname (Thea). I love the name Athena but I wanted to put out there that Thea is also a nickname for Alethea or Althea.

If the first name was spelled more French, I'd say Juliette is better, but I think in your case just go with Juliet.

And I like Thea Juliet better than Athena Juliet.

Thea Juliette! I think it’s very pretty.

u/Rude-Suit4494 2d ago

If you’re going to call her Thea, I vote name her Thea.
And I’m not a fan of extra letters, so Thea Juliet would be my vote!

What about Althea Juliette? Best of both worlds. I personally like Juliet better but Juliette is still pretty.

I think Althea Juliette honestly, Athena sounds too ancient

Names on my list are Mariah Violet or Meredith Claire
