Yes. I can't really think of an example right now in terms of celebrities, but a primary school teacher I had and hated was called
Charlotte and that name still kind of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. A girl with the same name I met later fixed that up a little bit, though. So I definitely think celebrities, especially those who are in the news often, can ruin a name like that.
On the other hand, I think they can also positively influence a name. I used to dislike
Julian, but when I became a fan of
Julian Casablancas' music, I started liking it more.
Chronic thinker.
