My name is Amaltheia .... I've never hated it for being odd, and I've never really been teased for it (a few guys I know gave me the nickname Malthie, which I hate, but I don't think it's really teasing)
Amaltheia
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Greek
Meaning: "to soften, to soothe"; Amaltheia is a variation of the ancient Greek name Amalthea - this specific variation is a combination of the original form (Amalthea) and it's primary variation (Amalthia).
I was named after a character in my mom's favorite book (The Last Unicorn); she spelled my name differently than the character's, she said she just liked the spelling she used better.
So, what do you think of my name? You can be honest ^_^ unless you're particularly cruel, you won't hurt my feelings.
