I've never really heard of any stereotypes regarding names...
I guess the closest thing would be the slew of Buffy/Muffy names often used in movies, for cliques of girls that are valley girls, cheerleaders, or Ivy League brats.
And of course Buffy also equates to the Vampire Slayer, but her name was a deliberate point to that previous stereotype.

Perhaps it's more that certain names remind us of personality traits tied to people we've known (or have even seen as public figures or fictional characters) that have those names.
Like littlefuzzy said, the only real "stereotype" that struck me was the Buffy/Muffy-esque names.

Judging ANYONE based on a moniker they most likely had absolutely no choice in gaining is bullshit. Have a nice day!

The only name stereotype I've had is over Tiffany. Every Tiffany I've met has been a super-b*tch. I met a girl in my methods course named Tiffany though, and I'm best friends with her.
