I wanted to ask. When writing a fantasy movie with a made-up world, is it better to make up the characters names as well or pick common names?

Expand commentI recently finished a fantasy script that was partially set in the Middle east. Never having been there I did some research into the languages and ended up giving them names that revealed something about their character. English speaking audiences may not know what they mean but it is a subtle nod to the way some cultures name their children. For example I found the Arab word for "guide" and named the guide in the story with that name. Plus it sounded cool too!
