Look, I think the point here is that using a personal proper noun as a title--that isn't even remotely unique--isn't very compelling and more than a little pretentious in its attempt to identify the character as someone worth paying attention to.
So the title is the guy's name....So what? We're long past the point in our cultural development that we can put out a book or a movie with the protagonist's name as a the title and still expect people to care about this person--unless that name is as unfortunate as "Forest Gump".
The only things about names like "Jack Reacher" or "Parker" that the creators are expecting to inspire intrigue in a potential audience are the actors attached to them. Pretty arrogant if you ask me. Hollywood at least waited until after the release of Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon before making Hannibal.
The only thing Parker has going for it is an intense and stoic "Transporter" monologue accompanied by a series of fast a loose pre-packaged action scenes. It's the Statham special.
And YOU, young man, should be ashamed of yourself for supporting it.
