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.
