No, you can have an interpretation that is wrong, but doesn't violate logic. And you can have something that is both allegorical and literal. Paul uses Sarah and Hagar allegorically without denying their historicity.

But this has nothing to do with Hebrew names having meanings. It's just a silly argument.
Adam is a Hebrew name, whereas the character is neither Hebrew nor Hebrew speaker. The story has all the characteristics of a mythological story.

An Amish man once told me that Adam and Eve spoke Low German.
