I think everyone has his own set of ideas for naming characters in novels. For example, there are some people's names in Jin Yong's novels, which can be said to be historical figures. This is particularly obvious in the duke of mount deer, so the characteristics are not very great, but then again, the reason why we think that the names of characters in Jin Yong's novels are very good is because the novels he wrote are so classic and the number of times we read them.
Secondly, I don't know if you have found out that many characters' names in Jin Yong's novels are obtained according to the previous plots. For example, the name Yang Guo in the condor heroes is derived from the TV series about the condor heroes. The popular explanation for the name Yang Guo is that, in other words, Guo Jing wants Yang Guo to atone for some sins of his father Yang Kang, and hopes that Yang Guo can be a man with indomitable spirit when he grows up, instead of being a traitor like his father.
For example, the names Guo Jing and Yang Kang, when interpreted together, are the shame of Jingkang. Although the implication is very good, their lives are completely different. Guo Jing's life can be said to be loyalty, and it can be said that he has paid all for resisting Mongolia, but Yang Kang is a thorough villain.
On the other hand, I don't think the names of Qiong Yao's novels have any special features, and even I think the names are very mediocre, such as Yi Ping Ruping in the TV series of Deep Rain, which can be said to be no different from the names of many big families, and these names have no meaning.
