I think that's the first time I ever clicked one answer. ;) I'm all about the zeitgeist.
That, and some of it depends on what kinda Fantasy you're writing. If it's modern day, urban Fantasy, then of course one would use mostly modern names appropriate to the region/ethnicity/background/whatever of the characters. (Demons and old-school vampires and other creatures in the story would follow a different construct). A Heroic Fantasy would have different name connotations than a Historical Fantasy, too.
