Artsy Baby Names: Jackson, Jasper & Julian

What about Paloma, for Paloma Picasso?

She’s really more of a jewelry designer than a fine artist.

Hmm, it’s very debatable whether jewelry can/should qualify as “fine art,” though I agree that even if it does, Paloma’s is not in that category.

Frida & Anselm are my favorites up there. Oh, fabulous! I also like Prunella & Romaine from the girls list, and Kasimir, Laszlo, Lucien & Vasiliy from the guys. I’ve considered Frida as a nickname for Winifred, but not as a standalone. Anselm I love, oh Merry Anselm! He gets little love when I mention him. Maybe he’ll have better luck here. I’d love to be able to use Anselm!

Oh please don’t bring back Prunella. Next it will be Brunhilde. Lol. I agree that Anselm is handsom!

Great list! Just FYI, it’s Vija Celmins, not Clemens. Vija was on my list but did not meet husband approval. And I can’t believe you have Egon but not Gustav (Klimt)!

Laszlo is my long-time name crush. Love. It.

Julia: Thanks–Celmins is corrected.

I’ve had a “name-crush” on Vasily ever since teaching third-graders about the artist several years back.

The name Meret is great! Good to see it mentioned finally

Great list! I think it’s Amédée Ozenfant not Amédíe, however.

Betty: Worse still, Ozenfant migrated into the girls’ column! Thanks for alerting me.

No Vincent for boys? I am considering that name and love that it walks that fine line between artistic and athletic. <3
