Let's take another example. Say, the name "Richard". It means powerful ruler. The root is "reich", i.e. rule, as in the Nazi 1000 Year Reich. Of course the 1000 years is a millennial symbol meaning "power" so one could say that that Nazi 1000 Year Reich could also be called the Nazi Richard. Supposed this same symbolizing humanistic and pagan power is reinforced with the name King. Now that is really bad! It is humanisic pagan rule, doubly stated!

So are you going to run out and change your name, and should everyone else with one of these names of pagan origin do the same?
