There is Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox, and another Jacoby in the Baltimore ravens.
What sold DH in the name was the mathematician who developed the Jacobian theory.

-
Not his full first name but his nickname for his first name. Piers Morgan and pierce broslan (sp?)
-
Zooey Deschanel and Zoe Saldana are the first two that come to mind.
-
His name is Jacob, just wave your hand in the air and you'll find someone with his name! We knew going into it that his name was really common but it has meaning to us and was worth the "oh...his name is so common though!" comments
-
@babyjmama: Ive Always liked the name Jacob
-
It's a city name in our state!
-
@stargal: Awe thanks, I love it too (obviously, haha!) we had Jacob David (dad's name) and Lucas Daniel (hubs middle name) picked out and decided we wanted Jake but Luke will be our next boy, I'm convinced we'll have 2 boys...mainly so I don't have to deal with a 16 year old mini-me
-
Yep, tons.
Robert DeNiro & Robert Redford come to mind.
-

Yup. An aviator, and I just found out there's an island off of the East Coast with the same name.

@yoursilverlining: I have always wanted to use Eleanore after my grandma but it so does not sound good with the married last name. Even Ellie, which is what my grandpa called her when he was alive, doesn't go with it.
-
Lots of people share my LO's name.
@Mrs. Pen: You forgot Jacoby Shaddix

@travelingbrit: hahaha that's cause I only knew the other ones... then I googled Jacoby again and saw him too. just keep finding more! mamamoose said my son is destined to be a professional athlete.

-
Diaz & Crowe. Ferris Bueller's best friend
There is a cyclist on the US team that shares both his first and last names. We did a Google search when deciding, just to make sure we didn't choose anything with a negative association that we weren't aware of.
-
Ralph Waldo Emerson (at least his last name) and I think Teri Hatcher's daughter's name is Emerson.

I googled and I can't find a single famous Evelyn. She is named after my Grandma though, and Grandma is famous to me!!

Not quite the same thing as what you all are discussing, but two of my husband's students have the same full names as celebrities. These aren't their names, but it's basically the same as if they are named "Bradley Cooper" and "Ben Affleck".
And when I was in college, I used to babysit a little newborn named "Luke Perry".
-
We chose LO's name because we are huge baseball fans and DH loved Brady Anderson when he played for the O's.
