There was a woman at my church who got married the same day that dh and I did (grrr ... that's another story altogether, but I digress) and her name was
Alethea Michelle but she went by
Michelle. It's a shame because I agree with you that
Alethea is much nicer -- it's soft in a good way and almost bouncy and joyful. It has a pleasant sound to it as well.
ETA that
Alethea can sound like
Alicia with a lisp so perhaps that's why it was never more popular.
