Has naming children ever formed systematized Halachot?
Or is it left as a sort of a prophecy to the parents?

There are definitely rules, and above all, customs. Naming children after deceased relatives, not naming them after the living, alternating choice of name between husband and wife, etc. – SAH Sep 13 '18 at 20:58

@DoubleAA None, afaik. He didn't exactly exclude customs in his question... – SAH Sep 13 '18 at 21:22
