Personality traits of the name Athena

Emotionally sensitive, responsive, and attentive, she is ready to make significant efforts to ensure peace and harmony in her world. She is also sensitive to beauty, making sure to take care of her appearance down to the finest details.

Her weakest link is her hypersensitivity, which, combined with her active imagination, can lead to breakdowns and nervous breakdowns. Athena is a sociable girl, she communicates with ease, and charm, and is not devoid of diplomatic flair and humor.

Athena's inner need pushes her to great, even grandiose achievements. She can try to achieve her goals by developing her strengths - perfectionism, patience, and determination, although this does not mean that everything will be smooth and successful. Or this girl will decide to hide in her inner sanctuary of dreams and imagination, laziness and indecision, perhaps she will seek solace in the arms of a loved one to compensate for the lack of her ambitions.

As a child, Athena can be somewhat temperamental and excessive, although she is usually rather timid, impressionable, and dependent on her environment.

She likes to get together with others, collaborate and work together, and emotional support has a strong influence on her and increases her performance. Love is important to this emotionally oriented woman who often denies her emotional needs. There are two different possibilities: either she becomes an ideal housewife and mother, or she rejects motherhood and gives herself to work and career building, social work of grandiose proportions.

The only time that I ever heard this name was on WB's show Everwood. I only like it because the guy that plays Ephraim is pretty good looking. But it is a little too religious for my liking.

My name is Athena and I don't meet a lot of people with the name'so it makes me feel special and unique. I am greek and I'm named after my great grandmother, even'though many people just think I'm named after the greek goddess Athena (which is a big compliment as well). Rarely do people mispronounce my name but when'they do they either don't attempt to try or pronounce it as a weird version of Ethan...but that was once and weird. I think my name is amazing and most people compliment how beautiful it is when'they find out.

Athena is one of the Most common Greek names for Greek girls, next to Maria being the most common. Go to any Greek Orthodox Church, and you will see it is far from uncommon if you are Greek. We named our daughter Athena, being Greek, and it was a name my husband I both agreed on. It certainly may sound ❤️unique❤️ if you are not Greek.

I'met her once. Totally awesome, super-intelligent, very straight forward, doesn't really say negative things of people at all, very concerned about human welfare but kind of aloof in a sense that'she keeps her own distance. Very curious and enjoys small details and admires the beauty of small things, like pebbles with unique designs. ATHENA is awesome and Athena is an awesome name.

But now, i think its a beautiful and unique name (which is what Farrah means right❤️!) to me it makes me stand out and not having someone wondering something like "are you talking about Ashley R. or Ashley Q. or Ashley.
