There were two Athena's in my high school. There were also at least two Gaia's.

---

I much prefer Athena to Athina.

---

I have no idea how Athena is perceived in Greece or in the US. I have no idea why it has become more popular in the US in the last fews years.

---

I know we had so many Athena's at my high school because my school had a lot of kids whose parents were hippies. We also had a lot of Hazel's. I feel like my school was ahead of the trends although Hazel has been more poplar in WA state than in most other states for a long while now.

---

Athena is #142 in the US but it is #99 right now in WA state.

---

I always think of Athena as a strong feminine name. I mean Athena always was one of the cooler goddesses.
