 nnn is for nnname-game
Any famous person (living or dead, real or fictional) is allowed, but as with Botticelli, the people named should ideally be people everyone in the group has heard of but wouldn't necessarily think of immediately.
Instead, I would say that places named after people are acceptable as long as the person in question isn't directly relevant to the clue (so you can't say "Washington, D.C. is named after him").
You put all the names back into the hat and start round two, in which you use the same set of names, but clues must be no more than three words long.

Women of the noble class often had names that referred to their antecendents or prominent male relatives, hence the number of rather martial sounding names for women, they are being referred to by the rank or office held by a successful male relative.
However, variant female names can be made by taking a root element such as 'Yuki' and changing the ending, 'Yukie.' Some assume that -a is a feminine ending, but there are plenty of male names that end in -a as well, so that should not be relied upon as an indicator of gender.
Names were often written in kanji, and a number of different kanji could be used to write a particular name, which could alter the meaning dramatically.

 languagehat.com: WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Still on my colonial history kick, I'm reading Jill Lepore's The Name of War, about the worst conflict in early American history, King Philip's War of 1675-76 (although, as she says, "Its very name, each word in its title—'King,' 'Philip's,' 'War'—has been passionately disputed").
Those who knew Philip by the name he went by at the time of his death, in August 1676, would not have uttered it: a strict naming taboo prohibited it.
As Roger Williams had reported, "the naming of their dead Sachims, is one ground of their warres"; in 1665 Philip himself had traveled to Nantucket to kill an Indian who had spoken the name of his deceased father, Massasoit.

These include the ancient scholarly taboo against plagiarism, along with other informal systems such as the code of non-infringement, used by clowns to recognise each clown's exclusive rights to their unique style of makeup, costume and persona.
On a more modern topic, "intellectual property" law has been brought to bear on domain names where trademark holders (in particular) have objected to third parties registering domain names which they believe should be theirs.
The domain name registries, many of whom are not governmental organisations, have had to find a solution to this and therefore have dispute resolution systems which operate in parallel with national laws.

 the wrestling blog » Taboo Tuesday   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
My only problems with “Taboo Tuesday” are that (A) alliteration for the sake of marketing can be taken too far, and (B) they might not even wrestle, and simply play Taboo.
Taboo Tuesday is a pretty dumb name….but I don’t think the name will matter nearly as much as the shows overall “greatness” or “crappiness”.
And the name was appropriate was because it was announced just after the SS PPV, and this way they could promote the PPV simply saying “Don’t forget – THIS TUESDAY IN TEXAS!!!” As for the “Taboo Tuesday” PPV name, I see no way that can be worked in.

 Canada Golf Feature: Great golf in Muskoka is 'Taboo'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
If "taboo" also means breaking with convention or tradition, then the course's touring PGA Tour professional did that with extreme prejudice in April when Mike Weir became the first Canadian to win a major at The Masters.
So enthralled were the owners with the positive reaction to the label "Taboo," that they renamed the entire 1,200-acre resort, formerly known as Muskoka Sands.
The association with the 2003 Masters champion is something of which Taboo's owners and staff are very proud, says Hollidge, because of his well-earned reputation for integrity and refusal to accept anything than a best effort.
