Personally, I wouldn't mind if we got rid of the name meanings, that are clearly irrelevant. And for most of the characters, the origin and meaning of their names are totally irrelevant.

On some wikis, having name meanings for every character make sense. In the Harry Potter universe, for example. most of the character names have an interesting meaning or history, that tells us something about the character. But that's not the case with Once Upon a Time. The list of characters with interesting names, is fairly short. Regina Mills (and Henry has the same last name), Gold, Ruby, Emma Swan (her last name), Mary Margaret Blanchard, Cora, David, Abigail, Jefferson, Grace, Belle, Archie Hopper (his last name), Rheul Gorm and Zelena; maybe Baelfire (which is a word or bonfire, although it is not actually linked to the character).

I know, that I have contributed a lot to name meanings, but that was mostly because I thought it was important to the other users. So yeah, I wouldn't mind at all, if we got rid of it for the rest. I mean, is it really that interesting, to read about the meaning of a name, when it has nothing to do with their character? For me, it isn't.
