I think the name Rufus just, sort of... hits that flow of language spot on, to where it creates a satisfactory image in your mind, a spectacle of visual imagery that forces you to not only remember it vividly, but also relate. Same thing with Coco, and many others, including Furryamigo, and Shmegg, too. I think a person's name, if picked blindly, meaning he picked it based on what he likes (which could be subconscious), is a reflection of himself. Oh, and Higbey. Can't forget about that wonder of a guy.
In other words, a name, if picked blindly, SHOULD be a reflection of you. It shouldn't be created for others, but rather for you. Now, if people can relate to that name, that's when they remember it, and you become popular. I think someone mentioned earlier that a name is essentially an essay hook for a person, at least, in video games. So if they can relate to the first thing they see on you, then you will be remembered. I don't know, it's just a theory.

It is very true; certainly no name is any good without having an inner effort or presence. However, certain names can certainly open & close doors.
I'll also add that the etymology of a name has a superconscious & subconscious effect. Language is very much learned, and the etymologies of words are subconsciously understood while our conscious mind doesn't always pick up on it; so, if your name can be etymologically broken down into latin & greek roots that comprise your native tongue, those you encounter will in effect have a certain vibe about you whether or not they are cognizant or believing it.
