Popular culture ruining good names?

I like this post on a parent loving a name but being afraid to use it because it's the name of a character in a currently popular movie/tv show. It's discussing Twilight, which is funny, I may be kind of strange, but I've always liked Jasper. And for me, Esme' reminds me of J.D. Salinger's short story, To Esme' with Love and Squalor. (that's the author of the Catcher in the Rye.)

I happen to like the name Ariel, but wouldn't use it because of the movie (although I've only heard the name because of the movie!). Hmmmmm.....maybe that's part of the reason I like the name Lorelei? (Still hoping for another girl so I can use that name!!)
