Athan [male]

Athan???

There is a new reality TV show on here in Australia, trying to find some woman a wife, and that was the name of one of the guys.

Pronounced like Athen from Athens (the Greek city) as opposed to Athan in Nathan.

What do you think.

Personally I think it could grow on me :)

If it was spelled Athen then it would be better. Athan does look like the "athan from Nathan"... and Athen (as in Athens) sounds better. I think I like it, but it's too confusing

yes, i would've pronounced it Ay-than, not AH-then. with a different spelling, it wouldn't be bad.

i agree with the spelling advice above.
