What names do you really like, but won't ever use due to a pop culture reference?

For example, you won't name your daughter Hermione after the Harry Potter craze.
You can stop considering Paris because of the lovely heiress who made it seem so pretty. /sarcasm
Maddox can be crossed off because of Angelina's son.

(And by saying this, I don't mean you MUST stop considering these potential names, but that your opinion of them has lessened because of whatever pop culture reference.)

Suri- Because of Tom and Katie's daughter, I'm x-ing it.
Xander- Because of Buffy, this name will probably be forever associated with vampires and the Hellmouth.
Buffy- Same as above. (It would've been a guilty pleasure anyway, due to its "fluffy" image)
Lorelai- Obvious why I can't use it.
Rory- See above.
Natalie- I caught old re-runs of Facts of Life so this name is basically ruined.
Neve- Perhaps the association isn't as strong, but Neve Campbell pops into my mind. She isn't bad or anything, mind you, but I wouldn't want it to seem as if my child was named after an actress.
