Fantasising about naming a second son (DS is 9mo and I have no interest in another baby yet, but love names!). What’s the MN view on Artemis? Not so keen on Art/Arty, sadly...

Any other similar names I might like, that spring to mind?

It sounds like an aftershave tbh

A variation is Artanis, if you prefer that.

I really like Artemis for a girl.

I just looked up the 3 musketeers before your post, as I could have sworn one was Artemis! Aramis! Love it...

Aramis (one of the 3 musketeers)?

Apparently in Greece it’s often used for males as Artemis was goddess of the hunt... But still, too feminine?

I like it, but you know it’s a girls name?

Artemis is a female Greek goddess.

No idea how it ended up a male name in Artemis Fowl.

Great for a girl though.
