I think Rivera also works, as does Kahlo.

Miró has been on my list since I was a teenager. I’d only give it to a cat these days, but I still love it.

It’s actually becoming one of my favourite names, mainly because he is one of my favourite artists. I also rather like Turner.

To be a woman artist and have a great surname is doubly hard! I left out some of my favourites, like Angelica Kauffmann, Evelyn De Morgan and Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale for that reason (not that there’s anything wrong with Morgan, but it’s already a first name).

I wish there were more women artists listed here. Sigh.

Raphael, Nash and Quiller are also on trend, and Matisse is getting fashionable.

I love Sirani and Zoffany!

(Vermeer reminds me of Veer, which I’m seeing around the place as well).
