Re: What do you think of these?
I like Artemis, but I'm not in love with it like some people are. I think it's too mythological and simultaneously too hippy-dippy for a real person to pull off easily. Not that it hasn't got a strong sound and mythological heritage, I just don't think it works. I also -hate- Missy, sorry, and I don't think it goes with Artemis in the slightest.
Cassandra is okay. I think it's pretty dated, and I'm not a fan of Cassie.
Cleo is okay. I think it's more of a pet name.
Elizabeth has never appealed to me. It's boring. I like Elsie but the other nns are too twee in my opinion.
Miriam is pretty. It doesn't need a nickname, but Mira is by far the best of your suggestions.
Nina is wonderful.
I dislike Persephone and all its nicknames, sadly.Matthias and Thaddeus are nice. Perseus would never work in real life. They would get the piss taken from cradle to grave.

I wouldn't have thought of Missy as a nn for Artemis, either. I would have gone with Artie. Some people would think of Artemis Fowl, who I've heard is male (I never read the books). But I like it better for a girl.
