Re: If you had to name your child after a person
in reply to a message by Jude
For artists I've always loved Dorothea Lange, that is actually part of why I love the name so much. She was both an amazing activist and an artist. Another favorite of mine is Frida Kahlo and I also love Vincent Van Gogh. I like all three of those names but I wish Vincent didn't have such bad nns.I always the poetry of Robert Frost. The intriguing writing style of James Joyce. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is one of my favorite authors. I grew up reading the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I loved the books by Madeleine L'Engle. I love the theories, observations, and musings of Joseph Campbell.I love John Muir but I'd never use John but possibly Muir. Cesar Chavez is another hero of mine and Dolores Huerta. Also activists like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X. Then there is Eleanor Roosevelt and her daughter Anna and really a lot of the Roosevelt's like Franklin and Theodore. I also love Winston Churchill. Scientists like Alfred Einstein, Isaac Newton, Carl Sagan, Carl Jung, Stephen Hawking, Alan Turing, Joan Clarke, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson. They can still be alive right?Truthfully there are too many great historical figures and living people that would be great to honor. I like James, Robert, Eleanor, Theodore, Isaac, Mary, and Katherine but they are all a bit bland. Dolores and Rosa are kind of nice. I love the name Malcolm.Of the ones that came to mind my favorites are definitely Dorothea, Malcolm, and Frida in that order. Vincent, Isaac, Winston, Madeleine, and Rosa almost make the list.P.S. He's not a huge hero of mine but Albertus Magnus for the name Magnus. He was an interesting person and his book/s influenced many.
