Help[Opinions] It's cool, IF

You
A) Can name something Tatum O'Neal has done besides Paper Moon and that thing on the MyNetwork
or
B) Know what instrument Art Tatum played, in what style, and can name at least one piece by him.
Because whichever way you slice it, the name sounds like a tribute (in fact, O'Neal was named for Art Tatum). I like it, if it's a tribute. If it's just because "oh, it sounds nice," then it seems rather ignorant and silly to me--because I, like most people, will assume that you took the name from someone important, and finding out otherwise is always depressing.
Array ("Oh, you named your daughter after Claude Monet?" "No, who's that?" "*facepalm*")
