Re: If you had to name your child after a person
in reply to a message by Jude
I have to admit I'm not one for naming my children after other famous people, dead or alive. There's nothing wrong with it, it was simply nothing I considered. Here are some names I like that are attached to figures I like.
Artemis (The goddess. I know, this is stretching the rules a bit)
Audrey (Hepburn-- cliche, yes)
Eleanor (Roosevelt)
Elizabeth (Current queen, and Elizabeth Hamilton)
Helen / Helena (Helen of Troy and Helen Keller)
Jane (Austen)
Frida (Kahlo)
Josephine (Baker-- too risque?)
Alexander (the Great)
Amadeus (Mozart)
Joseph (Biden)
Theodore (Roosevelt)
