"My name is Athena and i absolutely love it. Everywhere I go i get complements when i tell them my name/see my name. it's amazing. they usually ask me "like the Greek goddess" and i of course say, sure because who wouldn't want to be complemented like a goddess." Oct. 28, 2019: 
"My name is Athena and I've known 4 people with the same name!" Oct. 8, 2017: 
"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." Feb. 27, 2017: 
"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." Feb. 20, 2017:

"My name is Athina! Yes, it's spelled with an I, and it should be because it's Greek and that's how we greeks spell it, not with an E. (i hate that) You can ask my grandmother how i was named after and my 3 cousins!!!. I love my name it's unique (well not in my family anyway. hehehe)" Dec. 20, 2007:

"Hai my name is Athina from India. I really love my name its so sweet and cute name. My friends always told me this. Once I told myself to my friends or other some people's they said to me this is a cute and precious name. And one thing here no one told me your name is so bored and don't said to me you are a week girl. I really like this name. I don't know how I become strongest girl.but all of told me you are a very good person, lovely friend and a strong girl." Nov. 24, 2020: 
"When I was in college, my roommate's friend came over one day with his girlfriend. When she introduced herself "I'm Athena", I thought it was the most beautiful, unique name that I had heard. Of course, I knew of the Greek goddess Athena, but this was the first time I ever met or knew of someone with that name. I thought to myself that if I were blessed to have a daughter, I would name her Athena. Years later my wife and I were blessed and we did name her Athena. She is a young woman now and she is as beautiful and smart as the name suggests." Apr. 26, 2020: 
"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." Jan. 26, 2019:
