I like these rules. As far as I can see, names that I like generally fit these criteria, especially #4.
I think in addition to this, however, there should be a rule which states that a kid should not be named after a trait you wish them to have... not only is it usually annoying, but somebody out there's gonna name their daughter "big tits." (Running joke with a friend.)
