So one half of my family is middle eastern and one of my favorite things is a lot of the time, the names of family and friends will have dictionary meanings like this that would include the badass category.

Like, "Ah yes, tonight we shall be having dinner with the loving couple, Lightning and Soul. Unfortunately, Moonbeam-Gemstone will also be there and she and Turbulent Beauty really don't get along. Expect a teary 4.5hr lecture from Hero of Two Heavens on why they should, even though he unabashedly loathes War. No idea where Daydream's wandered off to, but it's very like them and I'm sure they'll show up eventually. Deluge, can you go get Stan?"

To a born American, it's so interesting to me. Half these people are dead and the other half go by americanized versions, which is why I feel safe mentioning examples, but I literally had a relative whose birth name translated to Lady Dew and that is a name for fae royalty.

Lady Dew is totally fae royalty!

The ones in the first section definitely get used (I've personally known at least three people called Robin (or Robyn)). The ones in the second do not. I am glad the last set are used somewhere though!
