I think it is more important to think about what a name is associated with, rather than a direct translation - which could be wrong anyways. When I hear Ajax (which I've heard could also actually mean "eagle"), I think of the great warrior. And Persephone is the beautiful maiden captured by Hades, whose mother inflicts winter upon the earth when her daughter spends her 6 monthes there.

When I think of negative names, I'm thinking more like 'Adolph' ("Noble wolf" btw), 'Osama' and 'Saddam' really. Just due to fairly modern bad connotations.
