Well admiring a person isn’t really a reason why I’d name my kid after them. If I liked the name and it seemed to fit the child, that would work. The woman in my avatar is Béatrice Dalle, French actress who plays murderers and cannibals. I love her work, and I love how all movie directors say that the characters they gave her never turns out how they intended; she gives the character a soul and a life of their own. But apparently, in real life she is a complete and total dumbass twat, who shoplifts jewelry and gets married with convicted felons 12 hours after meeting them. That wouldn’t stop me from naming my daughter Béatrice; if I even liked that name, which I don’t. XD
What would be important to me is finding a nice name that fits, and like @Bellatrix says, I’d never name my kid in honor of someone else.
