[Opinions] Re: Artemis for a boy
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I'd say use Artemas. If I met a boy named Artemis I'd assume his parents made a mistake or only read the name in Artemis Fowl and didn't look it up.
I don't think anyone has a broad opinion on gendered names in general. Every name has its own sound and aesthetic impression for every person. In theory it would be best if all names were accepted as unisex (mostly because it's a big hassle to have a name and pronouns that don't "match"), but there are many names that I only like for one gender, or names that I think only work as unisex when used as nicknames.
ETA:
Artemiy
Artemy
Artemios
Artemio
Artem
Artyom
Artemius
