Actualy it's not short for Theadora.I have a very different name.If you put the short A sound to the beginning of Thea that's how my name is pronounced(Athea),but it is spelled completly different from how it sounds.My name is spelled like this Atheuth.I said it the other way so everyone would be able to pronounce it.I have two name sakes in my first name and two in my middle name,that is also not spelled right.The Athe in my name is from Katherin and the uth is from Ruth.Before you ask,my middle name is Jene.The J is for the name Jannet and the ene is from the name Genelle.The funny thing is that after my parents had me,two years later they had my sister,and named her...Amy Lynn.My bestfriend like to tease me and say it wasn't until Amy,that the drugs your Dad smoked,in veitnam were out of his system.That's why He named you Atheuth.My dad was a Marine.
He comes over here to smoke cigars,his wife won't let him,he doesn't know I know that.
