Names are funny things

For a relatively minor point I'm making in a story, I looked up the meaning behind some names. There were some interesting results.
HOUSE:
Gregory - vigilant, watchful
James - supplanter
STARGATE:
Daniel - God is my judge (which we knew)
Jonathan - God has given
Samantha - Sam - Samuel - His name is God
Janet - God is gracious
Just interesting to me because of all the religious connotations. Also, Cameron means bent nose which made me LOL.
PR:
Sky - Sky :) - Skyla - Scholar
Jack - Jonathan - God has given
Just a random thought for the day. By the way, I haven't bothered to look up if any of the names were chosen for specific reasons. If you know something, feel free to share.
