If you didn't watch Seinfeld and understand the reference, you are an alien from outer space or way under 40.

Tacky to name your child after your favorite Irish movie star or any name you read in movie star magazine. Blue North Blanket

Month of the year, when it signifies when conception occurred. Same for days of the week, seasons, and weather phenomenon.

Sabine is a perfectly lovely German name. If you have no connection to Germany it might be pretentious, and at any rate in the US no one will be able to pronounce it correctly so you should use the spelling Sabina if you have no intention of moving to Germany. But I love it.

Ashley was a boy's name first.
And if you create a time machine, you can go back to name you son Ashley and then dance the Charleston

1. Carys / Rhys / anything from your "favorite book or movie"
2. last names as first names unless it is an ACTUAL family name - no cheating
3. Anything with an added "accent" - which is maybe both pretentious and tacky

Examples would be great.
1- Perceived as extremely pretentious
2- Perceived as extremely tacky
3- Near the line, and you’re not sure
