My daughter, who has wanted to be a nun since she was 3 currently has hopes to take this name upon taking her monastic vows, should that day come in the future. I am glad someone asked as I was looking online for more info than the Synaxarion and our books from Holy Apostles Convent had. Thank you to all who supplied information here!
Is there a St. Athena?

Taking Saint Athene's name
Yes Romiosini, although she desires this because of a fondness for the saint that appeared somehow even before she knew anything of the saint, I have told her that whomever tonsures here, should she remain wanting to become a nun, may choose another name for her.
