Historical figures, and even "established" showbiz figures like old Hollywood actors seem more consistent. It also depends on the name and on the celebrity. So, while naming a child Victoria after Posh Spice sounds ridiculous to me, since the name is quite well-established it's not so obvious, no one will actually *need* to know about the namesake.
I think that using surnames, even for historical figures, is a bad idea because it's too obvious. I guess Washington and Franklin are partial exceptions because they've become quite widespread.
It also depends on the prestige and reputation of the celebrity, in the case of someone who's still alive.
