These are my top three names for dd no2. Her sister is called Primrose (nn Posy). Our surname begins with P and is 2 syllables.

  1. Artemis (nn Artie)
  2. Penelope (nn Penny)
  3. Dorothy (nn Dottie/Dotty)

What do prefer?

No, girls - female goddess.

I asked for a NN for my dD and everyone said no!

You can ignore MN, y'know and just go with a nickname if one pops up Grin

Artemis was the Greek goddess, of hunting I think. It ends in a miss sound hence the missy.

Being induced as we speak and having doubts about Artemis! Alternatives much appreciated x

I hope your baby is here safely! It's normal to have last minute doubts. Artemis is a beautiful name and love Missy, Mimi or Misty as nicknames

I also think it goes really nicely with Primrose!
