Aramis is where my mind immediately went after reading your post, hence my bringing it up. :)

There is only a few letters' difference between Aramis and Artemis, so why not?

By sound I'd agree, but Artemis is so, well... female. I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say here, but my instinct is to say it would be weird for a boy to be named after a virgin moon goddess who killed a man for peeping on her while she was bathing?

Angelina Jolie's Vietnamese son named Pax Thien. Pax is a Roman goddess of peace. :-D

Because of historical use? Lol. I mean, is all gender usage totally arbitrary? Because there's generally not too much difference between one name and another, in terms of letters... John and Joan?
