but it's a common word so I think most people don't associate it with the show. I don't. Kind of like I wouldn't associate the name Beverly with Beverly Hills, 90210 or Peyton Place with the name Peyton or Barbara with Santa Barbara.

Thing is that while it might not bring Jersey Shore to mind when used as a regular word in conversation, it probably would in the name context. Beverly has been around AS A NAME longer than Beverly Hills... Likewise with Barbara and Santa Barbara. Peyton I just think sounds awful as a fn regardless of any place associations or lack thereof.

Yeah but it's just a common word. I mean if I named my son Hill or Tree would people think of One Tree Hill? I mean maybe some would but I doubt it would be a huge problem because you mainly associate word names with uhm the word.

Depends what's common in pop-culture at the time... I've never even heard of One Tree Hill, but despite having never seen Jersey Shore, it's out there enough that that would be my first thought.

Agreed
My first thought was Jersey Shore. I don't watch it but it is everywhere. No matter where you turn, it's staring you in the face.
