She was also fairly consistent with beginning the names of her heroes with an antibacchius meter. Those of you who aren’t into poetry-- An antibacchius meter stresses syllables like this: stress/stress/unstressed. It’s a formal mechanism.

Cute. Ayn Rand spoke several languages. Of course Russian was first. She learned French as a child. We assume that she added German through Yiddish, but no canon supports that. She mentioned knowing German well enough to read it. And then came English, which she called the greatest of all languages. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ayn Rand had a deeply intuitive grasp of the psychology of language.

its a good technique

Silly names... nice lol
How do you come up with this stuff??

It is common in literature. Babbitt, Arrowsmith, Chillingsworth, Dimmesdale, and of course, Willy Loman. No one was named Bumppo before Nathaniel but it was intended as irony, a reflection of Yankee Doodle. Don't forget Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and Becky Thatcher. Lost on me for twenty years was the fact that in "Gunsmoke" the woman who owned the saloon was called Miss Kitty, but Peter Gunn was obvious even to a child. The T in James T. Kirk carries a message, also. (And note the two Ks in the name.) Who could have been more common than Jean Valjean?
