Help[Opinions] Athena
Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary and her husband Edoardo (Edo) Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi have today announced the birth of their second daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose. Athena is little sister to Sienna Elizabeth and Christopher Woolf. Christopher is Edoardo’s son from a previous relationship.
Beatrice is the daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York and his ex wife Sarah, Duchess of York. It also makes Beatrice a niece of King Charles. WDYT of Athena?
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

I like it, especially in comparison to Sienna, though it’s not a name I ‘d personally use.
I've been thinking about Athena recently! It carries such a lot of baggage that I don't think I could ever do that to a child, but it's a gorgeous, elegant, regal name. A perfect match with Sienna, too. Congratulations to Princess Beatrice and her husband!
Personally, I wouldn't use Elizabeth twice, but I understand that it has significance to the royal family, for obvious reasons.

They've really over egged using Elizabeth, as if they need to remind us twice of their links to the late Queen.
Athena and Sienna are... fine. They feel like names out of a YA novel but they're recognisable and inoffensive. Athena fits in with popular mythology names like Freya.

I just can't get into Athena. I don't know why. I find it incredibly underwhelming and frankly, really dull.
Athena Elizabeth Rose is such a boring combo, like they really nailed it, the only way it could be more boring is if Grace was involved somehow.

Or Ann.
Naming people after gods and goddesses always seems over-ambitious to me. Elizabeth is pretty obvious, and pretty, and it might well be Rose as in Margaret Rose. The parents seem to like word-names, three syllables, and, for girls, an -a ending.
I like Athena.
