  1. It would be an apposite, apt or appropriate name.

    I had never thought of Wordsworth in that way goog one.

    A friend I knew was called (before marriage) Henrietta Whale - which was totally inappropriate!


  2. Usually it's called a coincidence.  But another word for the same thing is "serendipity".
