Name this Child



If you're like me, then you'll look at this picture and think it is a little girl. Not so, this is Prince Alfred of England who lived 2 short years. But what if he had been a she? What name would you have given this child?  I like Antonia Prudence.

Name The Girl in this Portrait by Modigliani

All the women in Modigliani's paintings have a characteristic tilt or curvy shape to their bodies and are generally represented with elongated bodies. Their necks are disproportionately long, even their arms and legs seem too long, especially for how thin they are. This girl is no exception. What name would you give her?

I was thinking Corliss Maude.

Name this Feller

 

 

What name do you imagine a man, this down on his luck, might have had? It was painted in 1924 by Norman Rockwell, so it was before the Great Depression. But people have always had hard times, and some people always do. I thought Eubous fit him nicely, picking a name from the ones I introduced you to last year. It seems interesting enough for such a person. His dog, I think, named Kit, for a brother or old friend named Christopher. Or a son. I'm picturing him in Florida or some southern state, where it doesn't get too cold at night.

Sancta Nomina - a name blog I found

Well, how neat! I've browsed about a bit and been finding new name blogs. Here's one I found today, when researching the pronunciation of Xavier.

Rename This Fashionable Woman

 

Her name is Olivia Palermo. I came across her browsing People.com's website. I have no idea who she is, though she must be famous for something to be on People. BUT all I need to know is that she has a fabulous name. Can you take on the task of renaming someone who is already perfectly named?

 

Let's see what you've got! Can you equal the name she's got or improve on it? I'll settle for just coming close, if I can. Genevieve Poirier

Well, not as good as Olivia Palermo, but not half bad!

Name This Soldier and Little Girl

This is a picture of a World War II soldier I got from the BBC website. I don't know if the little girl is his daughter or a child he is comforting that he encountered as a soldier. Anyhow, give him a name and the little girl also.

I think Wallace, nicknamed Wally and Carol, nicknamed Caddy, work well.

Name This Knitter

The Knitting Woman
by William Adolphe Bouguereau

I love this painting. What a clear and beautiful representation of human life, of the "best" and the "good". Of course, none of us, in reality, are as beautiful and good as paintings suggest. But we all have our aspirations and our innocences, things that are new to us and unsullied. Like knowing how to knit. Give the woman a name and tell what things the names suggests about its bearer.

Camilla Esther - Both names to me represent someone who always tries to do their best, who look for the good in others even though they are well aware of each person's weaknesses. Like the preschool teacher who encourages each child and delights in their unique personalities and gifts to the world, but who knows which one may skin their knee or forget to wash their hands, and makes sure that they do, leading them on a path to being more independent and better off.

Someone named Camilla strikes me as a quiet sort of woman who enjoys the artistic and creative pursuits available to her. She might devote herself to learning to play a flute or gardening or pottery or writing poems. Esther makes me think of Queen Esther in the Bible, both physically beautiful, spiritually aware and caring, and yet quick as a whip. She's the student who graduates high school early, peer tutors, and solves all sorts of problems before they've ever happened. She still strikes me as quiet, but not so quiet that she does not speak up when she feels she must and it matters. But she's not a prattler or easily provoked.
