Re: Athanasius
in reply to a message by Gia
[What do you think of Athanasius?]
I like it but vastly prefer (and would use) Athanasios which is ethnically Greek so I am not suggesting you use it over Athanasius. I just prefer it.
[If it's used as a first name, would Nathan (like Ned to Edward or Nell to Eleanor) be a workable nickname?]
No, it's a stretch. I prefer Athan and it doesn't rhyme with Nathan either so it seems like even more of a stretch.
[If it weren't a first name, would it be a good middle name for Charles?]
Yes, Charles Athanasius is quite handsome.
