Is Athena Natalie Portocolus a wholesome GREEK name a girl can grow up with?
I think it is a wonderful name. Very sophisticated and Greek. Absolutely perfect.
Reply:Well, I'm Greek and i honestly don't like the surname(Portocolus) at all!It is Greek and It may sound good to others because it has the letters r and l which sound nice to foreigners but in Greek its meaning is bad...


Portocolus:


Porto: derives from the Greek word porta (蟺蠈蟻蟿伪) which means door


colus: i think it has to do with (at least it reminds me of) the Greek word kolos which means a.s.s....!


I didn't mean to insult you or anyone who has that surname but that's the truth... Sorry...


If you lived in Greece, you were about 10 and you had that surname you would be definitely laughed at by your naughty and rude classmates at school... Imagine that i had that experience because my last name means "little basket"! However, if you don't live in Greece i don't think that you will have a similar problem. As i can see, the people above ,who are probably not Greeks, liked that surname! Therefore, yes it is a girl can grow up with! I grew up with my last name! The point is to realize that there is a long history behind each Greek surname and if you change or dislike your last name it is like you reject your roots and your history...





OK, i adore the names! Athena! What a wonderful name! It reminds me of my city, Athens, and of course the goddess of wisdom Athena!


Natalie is also an awesome name since it has the consonants n and l which really sound good!
Reply:Yes, it's very nice. A lot of people on here freak out when they see Greek names, not realizing that the people asking are Greek, and the name reflects the family heritage. I love the name Athena, and it's a very nice way of continuing the family tradition. Go for it =)

Reply:I think it sounds very pretty and I love that her name reflects her heritage....if you want to make it a bit more American you could do Natalie Athena, but I like it the way it is.

Reply:very greek. the only thing i'd be worried about is the name athena. it's very pretty, but it takes a certain person to carry the name of a goddess. you might want something a little less daring, but it's very pretty.
Reply:It's beautiful. I love it! It has great balance of Greek and American elements.





Julianna Thalia is also beautiful. Congratulations and good luck with the twins!
Reply:I like the name Athena - not for my daughter - but I like the name in general. And yes, for a girl with Greek parentage, it is a suitable name.
Reply:Yes, that is a very nice Greek name. Isn't that the same last name as the Greek family in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"???
Reply:Can't be anymore Greek even if you tried!





You just reminded me of the movie "My big fat greek wedding" lol...
Reply:yes everyone at school will love it because of its uniqueness
