I've returned to the medieval based-on-occupation-actions meta where you candidly name your characters' last names like epithets. For example:

Benson Bastion: Owner of the safest tavern in the city
Elroy Prolonger: Known for overthinking or overexplaining things
Terrence Rustler: Famous cowboy
Joy Boquet: Always smells fragrant
Paris Challenger: An iconoclastic, national paragon
Jason Stalwart: The most resilient and loyal in a crowd
Adelaide Mist: Ethereal appearances and disappearances
Austin Commonwealth: Very generous
Drew Catchpenny: Frugal/greedy
Camden Shivers: Often cold/scared

And so on. You can do this with first names, too, and even with just the syllables and soft/hard consonants. It does a huge favor the audience and author, because it's easier to remember and introduce these characters. If you're clever enough, the audience may not even be aware of the foreshadowing. Like in The TRUMAN show: True man, because he was the only real person in his entire world. Get clever with it.
