Have you ever seen Maile? What, you haven't? It's a classic anime, considered to be one of the 'big three' along with Bleach and Dragon Ball. It's about a ninja who has a demon named Paul trapped inside of him. Maile dreams of being Hokage, leader of his village, so he trains alongside Yuri and Kate under the guidance of the talented ninja Dave. Yuri is the last of his clan after his mysterious brother, Skip, literally wiped his entire family out. The group go through a lot of ups and downs, have break ups and reunions, and fight each other as well as other baddies like Roger and Kirk. In the end, it turns out that the real antagonist was Neil all along. 
As you can see, names are pretty important when it comes to epic fantasy. Changing something as small as a character's name can throw off the vibe of the story. Would you still be a Naruto fan if nothing else changed, but everyone were named like staff members of a Midwest diner?
