Generally whenever someone uses the brand name of an object they can't afford to own on their offspring, it's pretty tacky. Cristal, Porsche, Chanel, Diamond - all these are pretty tacky looking. I think for me though it's the whole brand name thing that puts me off the most. It just seems such a shame to advertise your own product enjoyment on a child. I don't know why I like seeing author/artist names as given names, but not other things - I think it is because it's not an idea or philosophy being touted, but a material object, which makes me think of greed: and there's nothing tackier than greed.
