Though I originally saw it as a more masculine name, now I can think nothing more of a goddess. Feminine. If I were to hear a man with this name, it would be hard for me not to envision the virgin goddess in my mind. =/

Still, it's kind of masculine. Then again, I have a female friend with the name Orion, and I think it fits her well.

I think of the virgin goddess too, but a lot of people just see masculine Artemis Fowl, which bothers me a fair bit.

I think the name works well for either sex, and I like it the best out of all the versions of Artemis existing. It's a beautiful name; don't let one famous reference ruin it for you. :)
