A lot of anime characters have highly unusual but descriptive names. Ex.: Katsuki Bakugo from My Hero Academia is a narcissist preoccupied with proving he's the best, and has explosion based powers. His name incorporates the kanji for "self", "win", and "bomb". Many of the other MHA characters are so named according to their traits, superpowers, and even signature colors.

It's kind of a shame that you don't see a lot of this in popular Western media.

Biggus Dickus.

You might like Stephen Erikson's Malazan Books of the Fallen series. It's a noteworthy feature there, albeit only in some of the cultures he invented.

The author gives an example of modern use from Family Guy. It works as a tic for Vonnegut because it's not common.

The same is true for Bond Girls and for the Batman's romantic interests.
