There is no reason to think that a name's meaning affects the child. We do not have any such concept in Islam. I've seen rain fall silently, maybe you haven't. It happens when there is little wind and the drops are very small.

You are allowed to change the name, there are no rulings regarding changing names and it is generally considered permissible.
