I've always liked it, but I think it probably is too much for naming a child, unless you can think up a terribly mainstrean nickname! I do like
Mimi for a little girl. I would use it as a middle to a shorter name-
Ruth Artemisia is a favourite of mine.
MN suggestions:
Artemisia DianeArtemisia Lettice (although if you did use
Artemisia maybe a more mainstream MN would be better!)
Artemisia RhiannonArtemisia LouiseArtemisia MorganArtemisia Roxanne (I especially love this one)
Artemisia FaithArtemisia AnnemarieArtemisia HelgaArtemisia NadineArtemisia MaryArtemisia BethanArtemisia NatalieArtemisia JeanArtemisia Pixie (guilty pleasure)
Artemisia Cassidy (another guilty pleasure)
Artemisia EstelleArtemisia NiamhArtemisia ElenArtemisia SophieArtemisia CorinneArtemisia Mathilde
I also love
Lee as a middle for either gender, especially followed by a second middle. I think it opens up so many more options. Most one-syllable names can serve the same purpose, though. I really like two-MN combos. For
Artemisia, I like:
Artemisia Lee DaisyArtemisia Sarian
MaeArtemisia Tirion
LeeArtemisia Lee JaneArtemisia Elodie JeanArtemisia Lee FreyaArtemisia Grace AnnaArtemisia Grace OlgaArtemisia Penelope Jean (favourite again)
Artemisia Heather GraceArtemisia May MarieArtemisia Anne Sadie
