Re: Helena, Athena, Sophia, or Marina?

Sophia
Athena
Marina
Helena
Sophia is the only one I'd consider, though I think I prefer it as a MN. My parents have a dog Sophie.
Athena sounds pretty and popular or relatively sleek and simple, but I was never a fan of Athena in myth, so odd clash of vibes there.
Marina reminds me of harbors but the smelly loud technological part as much as the idyllic nature part. Also I think of aquariums. I don't connect it to Maria or religion/tradition the way I guess some people might.
Helena bugs me because I don't have an intuitive pronunciation for it. It looks familiar but no particular pronunciation seems most familiar.
