Do certain names have stereotypes

Are there certain names that you can think of that are associated with stereotypes? For example, when you hear that name you think of specific characteristics or you picture that person to be a certain way just because of their name.

And I don't mean necessarily mean only something like names given in other cultures, etc. In your culture, what are some names that are associated with certain things (if there are any). I'm just curious.

----And then, what would you define as a neutral name? Are common names such as John, Michael, etc. considered neutral because they are common and therefore people with these names don't have any stereotypes attached to them?
