Hakaras Hatov-Naming After A Non -Frum Person

According  to  Mori V’Rabi Harav  Hagaon  R. Shlomo Miller Shlita:

It is  acceptable in naming a child after a  non Frum person. The main reason for naming after an individual is to honor  him. This is usually done as a  Hakaras Hatov to that person or people associated with the person. There are times when  Hakaras  Hatov   overrides the reasons of not naming  after a non Frum person.

We find Bnei Yisroel naming  their children "Alexander" after Alexander the (Great) Goy because of the  Hakaras Hatov they had for him.
