HelpRe: Artemis for a boy?
in reply to a message by Violet_Rose
It doesn’t bother me at all. It’s not “traditional” but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a strong name with an interesting history and gender shouldn’t get in the way.

Exactly - we all know the myths, but I do not know anyone by the name of Artemis (though some may). I have no association of "a lady" or of femininity in general when I consider the name.
The name is replete with heritage - she is a goddess!
I love the fact that we can name a boy with a "girls' name" - (there is no girls' name really but I'll acknowledge the argument); and that this feminine symbol is a source of a superior strength than even an Adam or an Andrew is a welcome novelty. Interestingly - it is only a novelty because it is not done too frequently in the United States at least through these recent years.
