Artemis

[Frostycarrot]

We are Persian heritage but born and raised in Uk, as our baby will be. For girls names I love Artemis/artemisia but if you didn’t know we were Persian i think you’d think we were just a bit pretentious? Or maybe you’d think that anyway.
what do you think? Or do you have any other suggestions?

It's a lovely name and I don't find it pretentious at all.

I think it is a lovely name OP.
If it works for you then go for it.

It’s my niece’s middle name and I wish they’d used it as a first name!

I wouldn’t think you were pretentious, I’d think you were probably quite exciting! Fabulous name. Strong and pretty at the same time.

It’s a beautiful name. I know a little Greek Cypriot girl called Artemis. Her British relatives (with the agreement of her parents!) call her ‘Temmy’ sometimes. I think Temmy was the name of one of the female characters in a Doris Day movie ( song went ‘ Temmy, Temmy, Temmy’s in love…’). Both the name and any possible abbreviation are lovely.

I know an Artemis - it is an absolutely GORGEOUS name.

It's a lovely name but I do also think it's a tad pretentious. Not that I'd say so IRL, of course.

Nice, l never met one. Wouldn't have a clue of its origins or which country it might derive from. Makes me think of the character in ready player 1. I like her nickname Arty as well.

You may find that folk will ask if you're big Artemis Fowl fans.

One of all time favourite names.

It's a lovely name. People potentially thinking it's pretentious is their issue but I think you're right that people are less likely to think this with your Persian background. Artemis Shirvani or Artemis Rahimi sound quite poetic. Artemis Brown (also lovely!) is more likely to get suspicions that her parents are being a bit highfalutin.

Absurdly beautiful make and I would make my daughter Artemis in a heartbeat ( but thankfully no more kids for me!)

I really like it, it’s also the name of the current space mission

I had the loveliest boy iny class called Artem. I associate it with him. It's lovely

I love both Artemis and Artemisia. I wouldn't see it as pretentious at all.

I like it but I do immediately think 'Fowl'

I immediately think Greek goddess.

My daughter - she's 47
Not many of them around in those days.

I like it. I'd wonder if you were Greek.

I've taught one - she's early 20s now and from an English family as far as I know. One of the more unusual names I've come across.

I know a dog called Artemis.

it’s a lovely name.

Great name! Ready Player One is a brilliant film too.

I like Artemis a lot. And Artie is a sweet nn.

Artemisia is Ok, it makes me think of the artist.

That movie song was “Tammy” .

If I was still having children I’d be tempted to use Artemis, a good strong name.
