s/o Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard...anyone else change their opinion of people based on baby names?

Fully aware this will make me sound like a judgemental biitch; don't really care 
.
Does anybody else's opinion of some people go up or down depending on their baby names? Not necessarily close family and friends who you know well, but casual acquaintances or celebrities and so on. For example, an old friend's brother who is one of the sketchier people in the world chose Seth and Lily for his kids, and my opinion of him went way up. A girl I went to elementary school with named her daughters Nevaeh and Shep.herd and my opinion of her went way down. I used to really like Kristen Bell and Jessica Simpson, but after they chose such terrible names for their daughters my opinion of them dropped. Megan Fox, on the other hand, chose what I think is a great name for her son and now I like her more.
Anybody else?

Hahaha! Yes this does make you sound like Mrs. McJudgey, but I do it also and I am so ashamed. Holly naming her child Rainbow fit her. Beyonce naming her baby Blue pissed me off because I love her. It's funny that you like Megan Fox now because s

It's funny ? I was just thinking today about being disappointed when people I think are creative and have interesting personal styles pick names I find boring.
I have a friend who's really into fantasy and Ren Faire type stuff and I was super ex

Yes, I definitely do this. I was just thinking about this with Kristen Bell too - I don't have any feelings about her, but I know that she's well-loved by a lot of people, so I wonder what effect her terrible baby name will have on that (if any).
What did Megan Fox name her son?
Names like Maxwell or Lincoln wouldn't change my opinion of them. It's names like Rainbow, Aleeyah, Kinsulee, and stuff of that nature that make me "look" down on them.
To be a little fair, the book "Chrysanthemum" was published in 1991, when the name Ava was number 847, and assuming that Ava was born before 1991, her name would have been in the 900's or above the top 1000
I freely admit to doing this. I don;t mind free spirited names, like Willow and Piper, but I get judgy about the youneek names. I had a teenage cousin who, surprisingly, bypassed Aydyn, Krosbie, and Kodie for the perfectly normal Nathan. I give her pro

I do this all the time. Both with people I know IRL and Celebrities.
I always wonder what went through their minds when they chose these names and I feel sorry for the kids once they grow up.
Oh! And has anyone read the chapter in Freakonomics where they talk about maternal education and names? Basically, names like Brinley and Kaydon signify lower maternal education and those names you look at and say, "wow, what a great choice!" signal hi
