I have met a lot of children that seemed to be named after celebs. Here'some:
Lucille Ball (Yes, first and middle name)
Beyonce Solange (If you don't know, Solange is Beyonce's sister)
Elvis Preston
Reba McKenzie
Harpo (Oprah backwards, and also her production company) Lea
Philip Brady

The only names I like remotely is Lucille. The rest are nms, and quite a few are just plain - yeuch.
Couldn't Harpo be after Marx?
Maybe there's a comedy/music link in the family and Harpo was the inspiration.
Anyway, I have celebrities who have caused me to like names but never use them. Like Bernadette and possibly Elaine (though I was deeply considering Elaine for a very long time.).

Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch? Or am I totally off?
Gonna argue that Harpo isn't necessarily named after Oprah. (Unless I'm misunderstanding and his parents specifically said he was.) Harpo Marx is probably a more likely guess. I'm friends with a Harpo and we were all delighted to work out that his name was Oprah backwards and call him that sometimes- but I know it wasn't the inspiration for his name.
Wait a minute. Harpo Lea? Is said Harpo female? Oy vey.

He's a famous Aussie.
Jordana Spiro?
Well, I like her too, but I'm naming her after Jordana Brewster!
Oh, lol. Didn't think of that! Good point!
Harpo is a bit too Harpo Marx for me, lol.
One of our noted Canadian figure skaters
is named Elvis Stoikejko (freely admit the last name may be mis-spelled).
And yes, I'm pretty sure he was named for the late singer.
