Creative Baby Naming

Inspiration :: Skye (painting of the Isle of Skye)

People often make lists of names titled '10 Great Artist Names' or 'The Most Creative Musician Names'. These lists are great for honouring your favourite creative souls but what I find is that their names are often not all that creative. This is because they had no say in the name they were given, it was their parents' choice - which is why you get painters named Brian and fabric designers named Linda. So today I am showing you the names that creative people give their children - the names that the creative people themselves have chosen. 

I looked through issues of 'Mollie Makes' - a sewing and craft magazine that I read. The names were mostly short and sweet. They were a mix of vintage nicknames, Scandi minimalism, word names and English elegance.Here are some of the sibsets I found.
