Creative Baby Names: Art World starbabies

I liked Mirabelle—Brice Marden, It’s meaningful baby name, i have seen the meaning in babynology, It means “Incredible beauty”

Maya’s Pablo Picasso’s, right? not Pable!

Beatrice, nn Bebe is divine, and Lorenza, nn Lola is fabulous!

From the boys, Anton Lemuel is awesome but I like Anton betterr than Lemuel/Lem.
Cassius is fantastic, but Atticus is a bit repetetive paired. I like it though. And Ludwig makes me smile, between the musical link and remembering freshman German (Ludwig was His name in class!). Yep, Ludwig gets a huge happy smile from me! I love Lou, no matter how I get him!

I forgot Saskia Grooms, what a great pairing *that* is!

This list is really awesome, but my favorite part was reading about the Judds. A close friend works for the Judd Foundation and mentions Rainier and Flavin all the time, so to find out their middle names remind me of coffee and beer is kind of funny. Also interesting to finally know where the name Flavin came from!

I’m an art historian, so I especially love this list!

I think Paloma is my favorite. Off topic, I love the idea of matching meanings of names across sibsets and the idea of naming several children with “peace” or “dove” names is one of my favorites. The novel The Elegance of the Hedgehog has sisters named Paloma and Columbine, which is so completely awesome.

I love that Alice Neel gave her son her last name as a first (its what I’d love my sister in law to do if she and my brother eventually have a boy).

Right away the name “Candida” stood out to me. Candida is the yeast that causes yeast infections. What a pity the parents of that child didn’t do a little research!

I don’t think any photographers were on this list but Diane Arbus had a daughter named Dune and I’ve always thought that was an interesting and cool choice.

I agree with ebeth78, my first thought was “Candida?! Gross!”

I’m actually acquainted with Salvador Scarpitta’s grandson Steve Scarpitta, and since Steve recently inherited some of his grandfather’s work, my dad has seen some of Salvador’s sculptures in person! I think Lorenza is a unique and pretty choice, though I don’t care as much for the nickname Lola. She must be Steve’s aunt.

Saskia & Oona are the top two names if we have another girl.

As for Twinka….well I don’t think that name will make our list for a while….like, we’d have to be on Baby #20 to start even considering Twinka.

[...] As with all artistic children, we have to wonder how much influence the parents who chose their creative baby names had on their offspring’s vocations. Is it serendipitous that ballerina Allegra Kent was given a [...]
