[Opinions] Re: Artemis
Hi Perrine !!!Artemis seems masculine to me.
I think that it is because of its sound that is close to Aramis. As masculine name it is really fascinating. It is rated 7/10 but surelly due one second I'll add it to my list so it is 8/10.The Greek goddess in Italian is Artemide (ar-TAY-mee-de) with 'ay' as BNT says the French é (so a close e). But it is not used as given name here. It is too archaic. This is only the goddess's name. The name Artemisia is the used form of it. I love it since I was a child. Beautiful, great, fascinating, mysterious and witchy!EDIT: some numbers from Italy:Artemis (m) extinct. Less than five only in 2008.Artemis (f) still-used. Less than five in 2016 Artemide (f) still-used. Less than five in 2016Artemisia (f) still-used. 19 babies in 2016 (the highest since national statistics in 1999)Artemisio (m) extinct. Not used since 1999.

Oh interesting. You are the second one who thinks it sounds masculine. I'm curious to see what everyone else will say. Artemisia is kind of nice. I would never use Artemis but I like it :D Artemide is kind of cool too!
