Phoebe or Artemis

[tulipsonatable]

I have a three year old daughter with a Greek name, though maybe not recognisably so. I want to choose another Greek name for my daughter who will be born in the next few weeks.

We've narrowed the list down to Phoebe and Artemis, so it'll definitely be one of those names. The problem is I slightly lean towards one and my husband slightly leans towards the other.

Just wondering if you had to pick between the two, which would you pick?

Artemis.

Phoebe. I don't like Artemis at all.

Definitely Phoebe!

Phoebe seems more effortless. I know greek myth names are on the rise but feels a bit try hard. Plus pheebs is such a cute nn

Phoebe 100%. Agree with PP that Artemis seems a bit try hard

Phoebe is a bit wet imo. Artemis is very cool. Conjures up a feisty dd!!

Phoebe. Artemis is pretty but I suspect would end up being shortened, so have a think about what you (and others) would shorten it to. Arti?

Artemis

Phoebe.

My daughter has Greek heritage and is Phoebe ( and she’s definitely not wet !) Artemis is awful sorry. Although our Greek relatives don’t really recognise Phoebe as being a Greek name.

Artemis

Fabulous name.

Lots of Phoebes around now, although it is nice. When it comes to nns I do prefer Artie to Pheebs also.

Better not get above yourself OP

But anyway Artemis seems to be getting moderately popular so I don’t think it will be seen as try hard

I like Phoebe but Artemis has a bit more sparkle to it.

In Spanish, it is Artemisa; or another Greek variant I think is Artemisia ("gift from Artemis") - in case you like either of those

I think either Phoebe or Artemis is lovely though

I love them both.
They have nice meanings and are easy to spell and say.

Phoebe - Fe, Phoebs
Artemis - Arty Missy, Arty.

Choose the one that sounds the best with her surname.

They are quite different and both are nice. Wait until she arrives. She might not look like either. I'd call her Diana.

I would go with Phoebe, sorry but Artemis sounds a little pretentious and is quite a name to be saddled with. A girl on my son's bus is called Boudicca and I'm afraid I do roll my eyes every time he talks about her.

Phoebe. Such a beautiful name
Artemis is quite a cool name actually but would you really want to be called that?

There is a little Artemis in my daughter's nursery and she goes by the nickname Artie. I think it's lovely so that gets my vote!

Phoebe has a more pleasant sound (to me). It's a lovely name!

Artemis. Missy for short.

Artemis.

Definitely Artemis, only met one, she must be about 10 now but was lovely. Went by Arty.

Phoebe is quite bland to me.

Phoebe is nice, cute even.
Artemis is ridiculous… honestly just dont

Don't like either but Phoebe better of the two
