Is it advisable to freight a child with such expectations?
That's actually a major concern I have in naming generally, I've known people named after abstract concepts that internalized them quite a bit. I would actually advise against any such name. It messes with your head.
"Vladimir" sounds not unlike "One who controls the World" in Russian (Vladet' = to own, mir = World).
