There's been a lot of talk lately about names that are "pretentious".
I wonder - is it the name itself, or do you associate it with something that makes it seem pretentious?

IE - I would find it to be very pretentious if someone names their child Jesus. So, there is a strong association I have with the name Jesus that makes it seem pretentious to me.

What names do you all find to be incredibly pretentious?


EDIT - Here is a little definition:

Pretentious: intended to attract notice and impress others, claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
