Potioncat:
It depends on whether we're asking why did JKR name some of this 
family for Arthur legends or why did Arthur and Molly name them?  It 
looks like Wizarding families choose a theme for all the children's 
names. And in some cases, a group of siblings will name their 
children along a theme.  Or perhaps it's JKR doing that.

The Weasley children all have royal names and quite a few come from 
Camelot. (I'm not sure about Ron, though.)  The Blacks are named for 
stars or for characters from Greek/Roman myths, depending on how you 
look at it. 

Now, could Cornealius, Lucius, Albus and Severus be from the same 
family using Latin names?

Oops, sort of lost the Camelot point here.  But it is hard to tell 
who the Camelot connection might refer to or how far it will be 
taken.

By the same token, it will make it easier for the shippers if Harry 
refers to Henry VIII, he can end up with 6 girls of your choice, 
everyone is happy...well, almost everyone.
