Jane Austen appears to have put little thought into the names she uses in her novels. Indeed, she keeps repeating herself, and if Jane Bennet is sweet (if somewhat densely so), Jane Fairfax is certainly not one of MY favorites. Mary Crawford, Mary Bennet, and Maria Rushworth share a name. Elizabeth Bennet shares her name with Elizabeth Eliot.
True: Fitzwilliam Darcy is a grand name. But I hardly think that witty, acerbic, satirical Jane Austen identified with sweet, naive Jane Bennet.
