Well, I do. If you have a good roleplay reason behind it, say, the
family heard a prophecy that said this member should be named Daemon
so he could fight the demons... Well, you can have any reason for it.

I'm a bit more against the Lemon Tree name, it does have the american
indian thing to it, but then you also need a good RP reason to hold
it. Eagle Eye Bosworth is as fitting as James Matsumoto or as Curupira
Schendel.

But, anyway, I think names can't be judged as harsh, since we do have
a lot of nationalities here and things can be complicated to sort out.
Like Ilya (my first chara), I never thought it could be a male name in
Russia, since I see it as clearly female. So, one can't quite know.
Let's stick to judging the obvious ones.
