Well, authors tend choose the name of their characters carefully. Some even are so deliberate it is obvious:
Superman
Snow White
Cruela De Vil
This is especially prevalent in Roman and Greek literatures. All their names pertain to something about the characters.
Also, in early times, people choose names carefuly. They tend to choose names for auspicious connotations. The meaning of names can be very optimistic:
Jack: God is Gracious
Sophia: Wise
William: Protection
Elizabeth: Oath of God
After all, no parents would like to name their children with something awful like Veruca, or Putrid, or Compost. Though in literature authors name villians and awful people awful names.
