Artistic Boys' Names

The arts are a common source for naming babies. These include books, paintings, songs, performances, and even the people behind these things.

Artistic and literary names take inspiration from famous artists/writers or characters. However, just being in a famous work of art does not automatically make a name part of this group. The connection must be memorable for a name to make this list.

Here are some artistic and literary boys' names from famous artists and works of art:

Despite ending in the "ee" sound, Ivy sounds more confident than cute (the poison ivy and Ivy League associations could be factors). For those who find Ivy too popular, are looking for sister names, or just love the name, here are some similar names below the top 100: Aster A flower name that also possibly means "star," Aster is rising as a tailored girls' choice even though it is also rising, to a lesser extent, for boys.  Avis This short

Disney Boys' Names

What do Pinocchio, Mickey, and Peter have in common? They belong to characters in Disney animated shorts and movies.  However, as with girls' names, Disney boys' names aren't necessarily those from the movies. Instead, they reflect the values of Walt Disney; vintage names with built-in dreams that are neither childish nor heavy. These names sound child-friendly but appropriate for adults. Here are some boys' names infused with Disney values that will especially appeal to Disney fans: Arthur Arthur "Wart" is the protagonist who draws out the sword and becomes king in  The Sword in the Stone .

Nickname "Art" and the aardvark of children's literature and television fame add on a friendly vibe.   Calvin Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics might bring up childhood memories. On the accomplished side, there's Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and former President Calvin
