Claude Monet's parents called the future-artist Oscar in his childhood, and Monet used "O. Monet" on many of his works when he was young. He was baptized in the Catholic Church as Oscar-Claude Monet. Despite being born into Catholicism, Monet later became an atheist.

Yes, although many people don't use their first name. My wife goes by her middle name.
wonder if he ever considered where his talent for painting came from...?
Not many Southern Baptists in France
No not many but they ARE there. : )
Just for the record, I'm not a Southern Baptist but an Independent Baptist. Which only means that we use the Bible as our authority and not an organization.
