Is My Name Important?

Are names important in Judaism? If somebody names their child something such as "warrior", does that have any effect?

Names are very significant in Judaism and their meanings have many esoteric dimensions to them. However, having said that, a certain name that has no obvious bearing on the characteristics of the person carrying the name. That means that a person named after a great warrior will not necessarily be a warrior and a person named after a great scholar will not necessarily be a brilliant person.
