Re: Princeston
I don't like it. As much as I adore Princeton University and the town of Princeton, I don't think parents should name their kids after the school since it only has a 7 or 8% undergraduate acceptance rate. It's a way of setting someone up for failure because it's setting the bar too high.
Spelling it wrong is even worse.

I saw - like I said in my first comment, I feel variants of it make it even worse.

Not a variant, a separate name.

I have to disagree with you on the point of setting the bar too high. 7-8% of undergrads are accepted, no one can say the bar is set too high when a child is an infant, the bar can only be set high with the hopes that the child tries to reach. Only time will prove if the bar was set too high,
