American portraitist Charles W. Peale had a mass of children many of whom he named to theme and several of whom became famous in their own right. What do think of the names?
Raphaelle
Angelica
Rembrandt
Titian Ramsay (I)
Rubens
Sophonisba Angusciola
Charles Linnaeus
Franklin
Titian Ramsay (II)
Elizabeth
Rosalba Carriera

*After Titian Ramsey (I) died at 18, a half brother born the folliwing year was named for him.

I like Rembrandt, Ramsay, Charles Linnaues, and Franklin. I think it's unfair to name a living child after one that passed though. Very dreary.

Charles, Franklin (Francis or just Frank where I live, actually) and Elizabeth are fine almost everywhere, but in this list they stick out like three sore thumbs. I feel particularly sorry for Rubens, doomed to a life of plurality, and for Sophonisba Angusciola, who I hope just went by Sophy and managed to ignore her astonishing mn.
