I'm more likely to expect word/place/occupation/plant/animal/concept names (although I wouldn't quite put Magdalene or Judith in that category: I guess that'd be Magdala and Judea instead) to be chosen with more thought to meaning (as opposed to just sound, popularity, and maybe history) than I would more traditional names...so then if they're not...like when people use Fletcher and don't even know what a fletcher does (or they do, but it holds no value to them)...it seems pointless/empty/superficial to me...but if they pick Arrow because they feel a connection to the symbolic meanings of an arrow, then...ok, whatever, I can respect that, and I like the sound, but it'd seem empty if I used it, because arrows just seem like a 2010s interior decorating trend to me.
