That's too on-the-nose for me. I prefer Argonian names (when translated to Cyrodilic) to be unrelated to the character's actual playstyle or backstory. It makes them seem more 3-dimensional. Take Sings-Like-Thunder for example. He's just a member of Blackwood Company in game, one of the protectors of the Hist. He isn't a bard and he isn't seen singing. Then take Deep-In-His-Cups from Skyrim. He's related to the Sanguine quest. We know he's a heavy drinker both from his name and his character in game. It makes it seem like he's an NPC built for one exclusive purpose and with one (1) personality trait instead of a real sentient creature.
