ThemeNaming: applies specifically to groups, or not?

I was under the impression that Theme Naming applies for groups, and so do its subtropes.

But then there's stuff like Werewolf Theme Naming where it mostly applies to individual characters, not groups. I think there are also examples of other Theme Naming subtropes that apply only to a character, mostly when the name fits a topic that the subtrope is talking about (and tend to be just an excuse for whoever writes the examples to explain the meaning behind names...)

Am I perhaps in the wrong here?

I find Werewolf Theme Naming to be more like a subtrope to Stock Animal Name to be honest.
