Taking fandom to a whole new level

My friend's sister recently had a baby girl. They named her Chesni after the country singer Kenny Chesney. The new mom is crazy about Kenny Chesney and insisted on the name.  

I know that celebrity names tend to rise in popularity, but what about celebrity surnames?? Would you ever use a celebrity surname as a first name like Chesni? Do you have any favorites that might make a transition like that and still sound respectable?

I too know someone who named their little girl (she's like....4ish months old? born in March), Chesney.

Only they aren't fans of Kenny Chesney, they liked it because it means peaceful or something like that.


Of course my first question was, "Like Kenny Chesney?"
