I agree. I wouldn't use any of the following you mentioned. However Chanel is a name more than anything. Take Japanese cars for example.
Subaru, Toyota, honda are all names used in Japan. Subaru is more a given name then the others which are almost always surenames.

Calling someone Mr. Takashi Subaru is the same as calling someone Jimmy Ford. But calling someone Mr. Toyota F. Ito is tacky. Last names that are the name of a business is tacky.

That is true, but as you say, those car brand names are often family names. There's certainly nothing tacky about being born a Mr. Honda or Miss Chanel by family right. But you must admit that the names Chanel or Toyota have more of a material image than another last name like Jones or Tezuka or Yasinsky does. And that tie to the world of the material often strikes people as being tacky or flakey.
