HelpRe: Naming a child after a celebrity?
in reply to a message by Xeno
Well, I only like it if it's after a celebrity I'm keen on. :D
Seriously, I think it's fine, you don't have to honor a family member, you can honor any other people you find inspiring. If I wanted to honor David Bowie, I'd much rather use Bowie or Ziggy than David. I prefer David as a name but it's too generic. Using Bowie would be more obvious and fitting for honoring purposes.
I don't admire any celebrity enough to honor them literally, but I'd consider using Vincent (for Frank Vincent Zappa and Vincent van Gogh, also for the song "Vincent" by Don McLean, which is dedicated to van Gogh).
