Yes, but the level of theme integration will factor into to the judging. If you just mention the character's name is related to the theme once and it could just as easily be any other name, then the theme category might be weighted lower, however, if you make character's name important and relevant to your game somehow, and you mention the characters name a lot you might do better in the theme category criteria. Ultimately it is up to how well you can integrate the theme into the game, and abstract relationships are fine, but the more integrated the theme is the more you are likely to score well in that criteria. Sorry for the late reply, and I hope that helps you. :)
