Hi, burp - it's Greek to me. ;-/ (you knew that was coming). It certainly would be memorable but, unless you were fascinated by Poseidon, I'd think twice on it. It is memorable, though. I've often read that children who are given unusual names, although they may have a harder time of it in early school years, make something special of themselves. Here's the source of the name (which you probably know):
ANTEA feminine form of Antaeus (son of Poseidon) Greek
Have you considered Jacinta, Jacintha or Jacinthe ("beautiful")?
I like Althea ("healer") much better. Now that's a legacy.

No & I think kids would laugh at a child with that name.

It would sound better as Anthea (greek for "flowers")...as it is, it's the feminine form of Anteus, who was Poseidon's son.
Anthea sounds softer than Antea, I think.

Not really. If it's for a girl, how about "Akeya" (uh-kay-yuh) = lover of wisdom in Swahili.
