Questionable Question About a Questionable Name

There’s a categorical name that I want to use but there are a couple of less-than-reputable individuals that fall under the category. I don’t want to use the exact name here but as another example, if the name “Austrian Painter” were to be used on a character, could that be reported? It doesn’t refer specifically to anybody and there are many legitimate painters from the country, but obviously there’s the… other option that people attach to it.

As I’m typing this out it seems kind of obvious but I don’t want to just try putting the name I want to use on a character just to get it reported.

Unfortunately, some historical figures have ruined some names for any future use as the name will almost always be associated with that person. So the name of a specific Austrian Painter and/or Austrian Vegetarian, or similar figure, might be problematic.
