True story-I went to HS with a girl whose mother heard a beautiful name come to her in the delivery room, which is how she got the name "Placenta".

I'm not completely convinced that guy is so stupid. I think he's onto something. Of course, when I graduated, I had 162 credit hours, so I might be slightly biased.

Artemis is a girl's name! Sheesh.
Yup. On the other hand, if you're a huge Wild, Wild West fan, I guess it makes a certain sort of sense. Not that I condone such silliness.James

I just looked on imdb.com and apparently Kevin Kline's character name is "Artemus", not "Artemis". The latter is the Greek version of the later Roman Diana, goddess of the hunt. The former is a town in Kentucky.

In the Wild Wild West movie, there was a male character named Artemus (with a "u"), but he was named after a town in Kentucky (I think).

Sometimes I think people think of their kids more as pets than people.

A man whose wife is pregnant with twins has to go out of town. He tells his not too bright brother (or BIL, take your pick) that he's trusting him to name the babies in his absence. He goes away and sure enough the lady has a girl and a boy. The man calls his brother and asks with misgivings what names he gave them. The bro says "Nothing to worry about, I named the girl Denise." The man is so relieved and asks so what did he name the boy. Danephew was the reply.

I saw an interview or TV with a woman who's parents (Mr & Mrs Wild) hade named her "Rose", because they thought "Wild Rose" sounded sweet and romantic.
Unfortunately, when she grew up, she married a Mr Bull...

Remember, there was a thread on THR a while back, where people were saying how they had named (or tried to name) their kids after guns...
Don't have a problem with parents that give their kids normal names, despite being named for something the parent likes (I know a Hunter), but names like Orangjelo?

It's weird because "Artemis" is a girl's name, it's the name of an ancient Greek goddess. Poor guy.

The proper male version of Artemis is Artemius. It's not very common, especially in the English-speaking world.

I mean, I was planning on naming my firstborn something Celtic, and I knew it would be wierd, but there's a huge difference between an ethnic name and a living pronouncement on parental stupidity or cruelty.
(anyone ever heard the old western song about a man named sue?)
And speaking of ethnic names... Aryan Justice *bug eyes*. What's that supposed to be, and ethnic cleansing name?!?! That's just horrible! Someone please, please tell me that's a joke!

We already have our baby girl's name picked out, and the first name is a little weird I guess, but it is the correct spelling for a German word. The middle name is perfectly normal, and we've been calling her by her initials, which works great. I can't tell you her name until she's born, since we decided to keep it secret 'til then (end of August, she's due).
