.. before her fame, it was fine. A bit flaky, like, say, River was, or like Milan or London - but no spoiled-brat or slut image that I'm aware of. If anything it might have seemed a tad "trashy" because it was unusual and literal / literary.
I had my hair done by a woman named Paris in a middle class suburb in 1983. That's the first time I heard the name and is where I get this impression, I suppose. Her name was very striking to me at the time.
If Paris had become my lifelong favorite at the time and I still adored it .. well, yeah, I possibly would go ahead and use it despite Ms Hilton. There are more Parises, enough that people ought not assume she's a namesake. I would at least consider it seriously, anyway.
