Help[Opinions] Re: Artemis
in reply to a message by jeziana
I love that the HP books are bringing back great names like Hermione. I doubt many in the newest generation would have heard of them but for the HP books. My glass is half full. :-)
As for Artemis, I grew up in the 70's watching re-runs of "The Wild, Wild West." One of the male characters is Artemis (Artemas?) Gordon. So it took a while to get used to Artemis as a girl's name. It irritated me to see the Artemis Fowl books in stores because I knew the lines would be blurred again.
Friends named their dd Artemis Sophia, nn Artie. Cute as bug's teeth.
P.S. I find Artemisia absolutely gorgeous! It gives me an excuse to use the nn Mimi, but I realize that's not everyone's cup of tea.
