I think both would work as middle names. Both are a bit OTT, but still pretty cool. I'm not so fond of Spartacus, but I still respect it. Artaxerxes is nifty and I also love Xerxes.

I love Artaxerxes!

Very cool name. Artax might be more practical. It reminds me of a guy I know called Artak.

I like just Artax, Artaxerxes is a bit of a mouthful and hard to spell. It looks awesome though. I like Spartacus or just Sparta.

I think Artaxerxes might be laughed at in the USA.

However, I think as a middle name Spartacus would be a good choice for parents who admire those who fight for freedom against great odds. :)

I love Spartacus, but would never use it outside of Greece. Artaxerxes is just too much in any language, and Artax sounds like anthrax to me.

Artaxerxes is odd and Spartacus reminds me of asparagus.

They' d be OTT as first names, but they'd make cool mns.

A little much for me.

Spartacus is very Kirk Douglas but I like it. It is definately one of the better outlandish names you have brought up recently. I think it would be great in the middle name spot.

Artaxerxes is just a bit too much for me though.
