Misty May

[Namethoughts92]

Just want to get thoughts from women who don't know me...

May was my grandmother's middle name so that's a definite.

I really like the name Artemis but it seems so grown up and old so I'm thinking Misty for a nickname.

Does Misty May sound too cutesy?

Thank you for your input!!!!

Lovely

Misty-Mae Fox is lovely

Sorry. May.

Misty-May Fox. I wish MN had an edit button

You can’t call her that! Sorry but no. I came up with some corkers when pregnant when I told my now 15 year old what she was nearly called she was absolutely horrified.

Sorry OP, but Misty May sounds like a nightclub stripper. Artemis is a lovely name and it is a female name.

I'm pretty sure Misty is one of the baddies in Pokemon.

"What about Mae as a modern spin on the classic May?

I love the name and it's so popular now. My niece is Sierra-Mae and there is an Eevee-Mae in DD's class."

Mae is awful. Sierra? Better than the Cortina I suppose.

Eevee - Mae - inventive spelling of a bog standard name with a hyphen added for extra naffness

I'm pretty sure Misty is one of the baddies in Pokemon.

No, she owned the Aquatic Gym and had all water-based Pokemon. I think it was Jessie from Team Rocket who was the baddie. Eevee was the evolution Pokemon, could evolve into Flareon, Jolteon or Vapoureon in the original series.

You are not naming a My Little Pony.

I didn't want to say it but can see someone else already had but yep misty may sounds like a porn stars name sorry !

Misty May is unfortunately a horses name, usually a grey.

Artemis would get shortened to Arte naturally. Misty is really too try hard.

I love love love it.

Artemis is great. Artemis May is great. Misty May is not great. Misty as a general nickname for Artemis is fine —as long as you don’t call her Misty May. Artemis is definitely a girl’s name.

Yes, agree with this.

Artemis was a Greek goddess, it's definitely a female name.

I think it's pretty cutesy. Misty is a cool name, but May is SO overdone and boring that it makes the interesting Misty seem a bit twee/maybe even verging on a bit naff, imo. Can you keep Misty and lose May?

Misty is lovely and so is May but just not together. Misty May sounds like a burlesque dancer name- which is fine if that’s what you’re going for but otherwise I would avoid

ChrissyPlummer I bow to your superior knowledge .

Misty is a gorgeous name. I know a Maisie May and the surname starts with an M too she's an adult and her name has not stopped her in any way being high up in her profession.

It certainly hasn't held back Misty Copeland!

It sounds like one of those porn star names you generate by using the name of your cat and the month you were born.

Misty is lovely, but can bear names that add on May usually spelled ‘Mae’, only suitable if you lived in Mid West America, circa 1900

I second weather forecast.
Just Misty will do surely?
I do love names that are a bit different - but names that are ‘first name adjective’ ‘middle name noun’ are just really naff and cringe imo.

Artemis is beautiful.

If your surname is a noun, for the love of god don’t call your child an adjective.
