Have you ever "ruined" a name for someone?

My sister has for a while really liked the name Ethan Alexander. She would write stories and use the name for a character, or mention it whenever there was discussion about possible future names for her kids. Well, recently the name subject came up again and I mentioned how everytime I hear her talk about that name I think "Ethan Allen", the paint brand, or store (I don't remember what it is, but everytime I hear it I think PAINT). Well she has told me since that she can't think of the name the same way she used to. I feel kind of bad for making her lose her love for that name.

So have you ever done something like this?

Yes, I use the term "ruin" loosely. And I don't know why I keep thinking paint, maybe I saw a commercial related, but it's definitely a furniture store.
