Gunnar said to name children after the children of celebrities, not directly after celebrities.
The kind of person who follows magazine that tells them about the name of celebrities still isn't high status.
It's been a while till I researched the topic in more detail. Artists don't wear suits to appear high status and the don't give their children high status names. Royals and aristocrats might be a valid choice if you live in a country that has them.
In the US the way that people who go to Harvard and Yale name their children is what's counts as high status signal.
But certainly using foreign celebrities is a very bad idea.
Yes. Use the childrens names of your local high status people.

I second that. Celebrity is misleading. I wanted to give a concrete example "high status people" is too abstract.
