Arathor is against the game rules. You aren't allowed to use the names of any Blizzard characters whether from WoW or from their other games. There are other rules, but that's a major one.
Likewise, using names from popular media is against the rules (despite all the Aragorns and Legolases you see, they are breaking the rules when they do that).
Choosing a name that breaks the rules is a good way to suffer an enforced name change, all it takes is one person pointing you out to a GM, and you lose your rule-breaking name.
What I've done is pick a word for an animal I like, in a different language. All my WoW characters are named following that system, aside from a few with punny or joke names. If your character is one of the animal-like races, that alone suggests an animal to use for names.
