This may not quite qualify, as neither of these people were particularly only well-known at the time of my grandchildren's birth, but my grandson Abraham (nn Bram) was kind of sort of named after Abraham Lincoln and my granddaughter Lucille (nn Lucy) was kind of sort of named after Lucille Ball. "Kind of sort of" means that the name was loved in any case, but the fact that Lincoln and Ball bore the names was an additional factor in their favor.
