Is Ramsay Bolton named after Gordon Ramsay?
As the title asks - is Ramsay Bolton named after Chef Ramsay?
Both "Ramsays" are spelled the same way, and the syllable structure of "Bolton" is similar to "Gordon." Both can be sadistic bastards, albeit one is somewhat worse. And I'm going to guess that GRR Martin likely knows a culinary show or two, and is probably well aware of Ramsay the chef.

Gordon Ramsay is purely portrayed to be as bad as he is. A lot of his “evil” is due to carefully cut scenes. If you watch the master chef aired in Britain and the one aired in the us, you see the difference between the two.

@Edlothiad I'm sure that's true. I'm guessing that, if GRRM named the former after the latter, it likely had a lot more to do with humor than his strong feelings regarding the atrocities committed by Chef Ramsay in the kitchen.
