For some parents, selecting a name is the most exciting part of expecting a baby. Will your child have the same first name that’s been carried on through family generations? Or perhaps be named after your favorite scientist, or a name inspired by your favorite TV show?

All of these are splendid ideas; but just in case you need some extra inspiration, how about artist-inspired baby names? Painters, impressionists, sculptors, photographers; there are so many creative geniuses out there to pick from. Who knows, maybe you or your baby will own a piece of work by one of these artists in the future!
