All on Black posted:I think that one might be Sailor Moon's fault. I assumed Artemis was a masculine name for years because of that show. I did the opposite and assumed the cat was a girl. For years. Despite all evidence to the contrary.

Before I got the internet at my house (so I couldn't look anything up online that wasn't educational because our local librarians were BITCHES), I assumed they translated wrong from Japanese and that Artemis was a girl in the original show and it was because OMG STUPID SAILOR SENSHI SCOUTS DUB!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!! NO 1 CNA SPEAK GLORIOSU* NIPPON LANGUAGE GOOD! *This was a legit typo, but it fits too well to change.

Artemis Fowl, of the young adult urban fantasy/adventure/whatever series of the same name, is a boy. At least there it's explained that he got a female name. I can't remember the explanation, though.

With a name like that, your career choices are pretty limited. If you weren't born into money already, it's either porn or white-collar crime.

Temping at an office and one of my coworkers is named Ax. I mean, it hardly counts because it's technically short for Alexander. I doubt the guy named Omega has a similar excuse. I also found someone with the surname Armburst on the newsletter mailing list.
