If the narrative draws attention to it, that would be Nonindicative Name, I think.
My name is Freezer and my anti-drug is porn.
A character appears to have a Meaningful Name / Ironic Name, but then it turns out they have no particular talent or aptitude one way or another.
For example, A girl named Melody is neither a good singer or a dreadful one (her parents just like the name), a boy named Felix is neither particularlly lucky/unlucky or has any affinity with/hatred for cats (it was his grandfather's name), etc.
