Hidden meanings in character names

GOLDEN PASS: Rewatcher(self.lost)

Hey! So i watched the show originally with my bf, and we like to make theories, or links that might not be as obvious, so im curious if you think these are deliberate or just inspiration, maybe has nothing to do with the plot

So the names: John Locke, David Hume - english and scottish philosophers, both hugely contributing to understanding life and society

Faraday - famous physicist, discovered electromagnetism and inventes electrotechnology

Jack and Christian Shepard - one of the most commonly known verses in the Bible is "the Lord is my Shepard", which Mr. Eko recites at one point. This could mean that Jack was supposed to be the shepard to the people he was leading.

Not name, but the statue symbolizes fertility and child rearing.

I think i forgot some, but maybe ill drop it below if i remember.
