Why don't Zalanthans name their children after "celebrities"?

And then there is this:

Commoners often look to nobility for examples in most aspects of life, and fashion is no exception.

There is a certain flattery that comes from being copied.  While a 'rinith, half-elf named after a well-known noble may be found to be in bad taste.  A typical citizen named after or in likeness to a noble may not be so bad as some suggest.

"My name is Fan, named after Lord Fancy-pants of Kasix"  I don't think would be so out-of-line.

Or, "I'm Blue, named after my mother's employer's eyes"

There was a one (and almost two more) child who came into play that was fathered by some oldtimer Soh
after the vnpc reached maturity. It was an interesting twist.

I've considered naming more than PC after said old-timer Soh.

Some people in certain clans I think are encouraged to take the names of "celebrities." Was this covered already?

Shouldn't (wouldn't) we name our children after the (in)famous?

I've had a PC named after a famous player before. I typically used a nickname as I'd had my PC beat up in the past by soldiers who thought it was inappropriate for him to share the name of a Templar.

You might ask what's the point if I used a nickname? It made an interesting element of his background that impacted how he thought and grew up.

There have also been times where I reused the name of a PC that I admired.

Because nobody tells stories about famous people.  No pool of names to draw from.

That is what bards actually do.  We have Docs

What they should do.
