Help[Opinions] Artemis
I really like the name Artemis for a girl...is it too weird? I think its pretty and not masculine sounding at all...wdyt?

I prefer Diana (its on my list) but Artemis is pretty nice too. I think it could also work as a boy's name.

I like it, and as Artemis is the name of a Greek goddess, I don't find it masculine. Besides, girls have all sorts of masculine names now, so this should not be a problem.
The only problem is if ignorant people don't know how to spell/pronounce it.

Knew an Artemis in college...
and she did not enjoy having the name. I think it was a weeee bit too out there for most people to "get", if you know what I mean. She ended up going by her middle name to avoid the "huh?"s and "how exctly do you say that?"s.

I think I prefer the Roman goddess Diana's name. But it's not bad.

A woman after my own heart! Artemis is my favorite girls name; I would use it in a fast heartbeat if I were blessed with a daughter except...my husband hates it, and I know my brother would always be calling her Artemis Pyle (the male drummer for Lynyrd Skynyrd.)

Seriously, though, I have loved this name for many, many years. I don't think it's too weird.
