Re: Artemis
It seems very serious to me...not serious as in solemn, but...focused and intense. I guess that's mostly because when I was learning about Artemis, she struck me as an extreme character...goddess of many things (sudden death, childbirth, wilderness, wild animals) that are often associated with pain or danger...one half of a pair of opposites (twin of Apollo), so it doesn't seem like there's any middle ground with her...I admire that quality about her, but it's a strong association for me and makes the name seem maybe too heavy.Adding to the serious vibe: the only Art* name I see fairly regularly is Arthur, which comes across as studious or a bit old-mannish.I like Artemis for a boy a little more because the goddess association seems more removed, although it does make me think of Artemis Fowl (for people who haven't read the books: an obnoxiously rich fictional Irish child prodigy).I'd prefer Artemisia for a girl...I like that it's an herb and an art reference, plus it has a couple more NN options...it has more dimension, imo.
