Question Names with a strong significance

Do you know any Spanish names which have a strong significance or a very obvious meaning?

Like this lady named "Dolores".
She was the daughter of "Juan Fuertes" and she was married to "Carlos Barriga." So, she got quite a painful name,
Sra. Doña Dolores Fuertes de Barriga.

You are confusing fuertes (adjective - strong) with fuentes - springs, fountains

Yup, or "Strong/Bad Belly/Stomach Pains".

Do you know of any others?

Even if it is in English?

I remember something like a book "The correct behavior of a Sheep" by author A. Wolf, or something of the sort.

I used to know hundreds of these, mostly forgotten. I remember a comic where if there was a photographer, he was always called Len Scap.

Some more for the collection:

Zoila Vaca del Corral
Zoila Pérez Sosa
Jesús Cordero Degollado
Rosa Espinoza
Aurora Lechuga de Mercado
Susana Alegría
Dulce Paleta de Limón (In Mexico, "paleta" is a lollipop)
Rolando Mota (In Mexican Spanish, "mota" is another name for marijuana and "rolar" is to pass something on from one person to another.)

This is one of my cousins: Violeta Ramos de Flores.
And I hope there has never really been a Doctor Mata Lozano.

@Pablo: By the way, Spain used to have a real jewel in the government: A minister of the interior called "Mayor Oreja".
