Artemis? Or similar?

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?

My friend has a boy names Artemis and it's loved by many! Everyone comments on how lovely it is. I was shocked when I found out it was a girls name. Seems masculine to me. Even before it was the name of my friends boy.

We were considering Aurelius nn Auri for a boy..

How is it actually possible to not know it’s a Greek goddess?

Google is your friend.

I love Atticus for a boy! I know a girl called Artemis and that's why I have discounted it for the boy I am expecting. Apollo is pretty cool but I think Adonis is a name with strong connotations?

Adonis, like Beau, is a hard name to live up to.

Elle mc Pherson's son is Aurelius

The only Artemis I know is a woman.

Eh, I don’t like it much for a woman. It’s okay, but not for me, personally.

Apollo won’t work as DH’s family speak Spanish and the “ll” becomes a “y”- Apoyo. Hmm.
Adonis sounds like a challenge to live up to!
Aurelius is too regal, I reckon...

Gosh I’m fussy 😂 Good thing there’s no DC2 in sight! Back to the drawing board...

Rafael and Gabriel are nice names for a Spanish connection.

Or what about Androcles?
