Celebrity Names?

 Celebrities seem to have no concern about the names they give their children and it probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme since the children will either want to be in the spotlight and not care about their names or they can opt to change their names if they choose not to live with their given names. What about 600 years ago when a baby girl was named Diot Coke? of course the name wouldn't have been associated with a beverage at that time but it was still unusual for that time. Researchers from the British National Archives deduced that Diot was a diminutive form of  Dionisia, a popular name in the 14th century, and Coke was a corruption of the surname Cook. Still an unusual name making one wonder if the parents were being creative like the celebrities of current times or if they just didn't know better. Where does that leave Coke Zero?
