Names like Matisse, Monet, or Cezanne don't bother me because they were male names- and how can they be exclusively male when they were surnames, anyway?- they bother me because they sound like weak attempts to sound classy and cultured. "Oh, let's name her Monet! That sounds super artsy, or whatever." Sorry, but I've got to be honest. Matisse definitely falls in this category for me, even though I do like the sound of it.
