The truth of the matter is that names are like food. What seems normal to you might seem abnormal to someone else (frog legs, veganism, etc). Furthermore, names have many meanings and the reason one person might pick a name might be different from another person's reason.

For example, someone said that the name Arthur is chosen because people think it's cool. There's absolutely nothing cool about the name to me (it's just like any other name) and I could also say that people choose the name because of St Arthur.

Someone said that the name Aragon came from Lord of the Rings. It's a long time since I watched the first Lord of the Rings movie and I don't even remember their names or the plot, but I learnt when I was a little kid that the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castille led to the creation of Spain (I read their entire story but I can't remember it now). Some people might name their child Aragon because they have some kind of connection with the place, or because they want their child to be like Ferdinand or because it means strong and valley.

Individual preferences differ. One man's meat is another man's poison.

Isn't that the name of the Lord of the Rings character?

Yes oh! It is

You see, you guys remember Aragon because of Lord of the Rings while I remember Aragon because of Ferdinand and Isabella.

Aha! I've found it! This is the exact video that was in that playlist.

I thought that they originally sang this song, but I've just discovered that I was wrong. They were backup singers on the original, but that version was not as successful as this.
