Character naming

I have two families in a story I'm writing, each with a family crest that is the sun and moon respectively. My question is, is it a good idea to have their first names which have sun and moon meanings in them? Or would it be too cliché?

You have a good story here, Antoinette. I liked it.

And you're in the right direction. A good writer always worry about details, especially names. Maybe you can find names related to the sun and the moon in mythology articles. Have you already tried that? I'm sure you'll find interesting things in there.

The sun family have a last name (Non sun related the reason is in the story) and the moon family don't have one yet (book is still in the works)
