Is it possible that it's more of a psychological thing? Even if a non-Muslim by the name of George regard his name to have an effect on him, it'll actually have one. And on the other side if brother Muhammad doesn't regard his name to have an effect, then it will not have any either. I mean effect in terms of impact on ones way of life and thinking, of course not in terms of virtue or reward. (Just so noone thinks I'm trying to disrespect the name of Rasulullah .)

Ta'theer in wording is something more detailed than psychological reaction. Although psychological condition can cause some results, but the who reason behind ruqiya is that a word, or statement, quranic verse etc effects some outcome. Some people in india (who are Sikh by religion) used to recite Bismillah before begining their work day to gain the barakah of it. Whether it worked for them or not, I cannot say but I have come across one account in the books of akabir of affirmation in its effect.

The names two will have their ta'theer. The ta'theer is not binding, but with Allah's permission and Allah's wisdom it will affect whosoever Allah wishes.
