Its a simple thing to understand. As the OP is asking about the effects of names on personality , we will have to assume that the names and their meaning have certain tendency of Tasaruf. It takes us to conclude 1. Either the names and their meaning have a self generating power of Tasaruf , which will become Shirk if one thinks so 2.Allah has put certain pre-destined tendencies in the names which effect a person . Thats correct to assume but had that been the case , it should have been explained in Quran and Hadith. PS. The OP is obviously asking about the Islamic names so lets keep the issue of prohibited names away.
