I try not to, but it definitely happens.
The name sometimes influences me against it, too. I almost didn't get Pussy Galore because of the name.
There's a polish by Digital Nails called Fibonacci Sequins ("By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 1 and 1, or 0 and 1, depending on the chosen starting point of the sequence, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two"--wikipedia) that I totally want for the name. (I'm not good at math, but I like it, and I have a few friends who are math teachers.) Plays on words are my favorite type of humor.
I almost bought a nail polish by Zoya last night because it's called Kat, which is my nickname. I didn't like the swatches I looked up at all.
Off the top of my head, a few others I've wanted just for the name: Button Masher Lacquer Be Excellent to Each Other, Pretty and Polished I'm Not a Banana, Whimsical Ideas by Pam Seuss (this one I actually bought).
