Ok how about Artemis.....

[boodleboot]

please slate at will....i really like it..

Prefer Artemesia, after Artemesia Gentileschi - one of the only female painters to hold her own in the Baroque period. We saw some of her paintings in Florence recently and they were fierce!

I do love Artemis but can't imagine a child actually called it....how about Hestia? or Iris? both greek goddess names

There's a 16 yr old Artemis at my children's school! Apparently she's lovely.

I do not like Artemis, but LOVE Juno. I don't think the film ruined it .....

I think you'd only get away with it if you were very, very rich or very, very Greek.

I like it a lot - strong, elegant, different

and Missy is very very sweet

It's very pretty but definitely a rich kid sort of name.
Perhaps could have it as a middle name instead? unless you really are actually quite rich........ in which case, great name, go for it!

balls....i am very not rich....not poor but if we got it we spend it....

deffo not greek but DH is mixed race so any DC will most likely be dark haired dark eyed......

I was just about to post about Cutting It too, I think that character would've found it in a baby name book rather than actually know about Greek goddesses. God, I loved that show, it was so trashygood. I think it's a lovely name anyway.

Well at least a little dark haired, dark eyed dc might carry it.. really don't think it would work on a average-incomed ginger kid with pink skin and freckles!

How about Iris Artemis, or Artemis Iris and then you could call her either one, depending on how you felt about it after a while??

Artemis is lovely. On my list for middle names. As are Juno and Ariadne.

What about Arra or Ara (Ah-rah) for a NN? My sister in law is Andrea and somehow it's been shortened to Arra, which is quite pretty.

Ariadne is fabulous

also Antigone (although I suspect some people may start of pronouncing it Anti-gonn)

Antigone's not a happy name though, is it? I'd avoid tragic heroines myself.
