While reading through this write up, we might see this trend as as a marketing gimmick while for other's it's about being inventive and clever. But in all that,we need to draw a line as for the sake of finding unique names we might objectify someone or something.Thus, we have to understand a thing called as ethics and morality.

At times it's about using female's actors name in an objectionable and nasty way to sell food items. In case, you missed it, a Delhi based restaurant was selling mock meat in the name of,'Sunny Leone chaap' and 'Miya Khalifa Chaap'. Again, some people find this is highly disrespectful and sexist while other's might regard it as nothing .
Also, back in 2015, two goats named after Bollywood Actors,Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan were displayed for sale in Uttar Pradesh goat market with the price range between Rs 50,000 and Rs 100,000 respectively.
So, let me ask you simply is it being innovative or obnoxious?
