HelpRe: Anthea or Althea (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
This time is difficult..
Both have 8/10 in my list.
Maybe I would spell Anthea but the other Altea.
I would never confuse them with Andrea as in my mind it is only masculine (actually in Italy it is becoming unisex and in 2016 were born 230 female Andrea).
I dislike this trend...
The traditional Andreina is very dated imo and cutesy because of the -ina that makes it childish.
Actually I found some modern really nice variants of it that I judge better than Andrea or Andreina on a female.
They are Andreea (Romanian ee is read as a simple long e), Andressa (Spanish/Latino, after Andrés), Andreana and Andreia or Andreja (Balcanian J as i/y).
These names are not from a web research.
I met at least one from each "new" form (new for an Italian as they are foreign variants that slowly are becoming usable out of these languages).
WDYTO them?
