Since most of the names in Naruto are chosen for a reason and are rather impractical (characters named after objects, foods, etc.), I thought that maybe some of the names have a connection to the fates of some of the characters. Sakura: Named after the sakura blossom. Symbolism concerning Sakura seems to lie heavily on flowers (the flower-arranging exercise that Ino and Sakura did when they were younger, the dandelions she brought to Sasuke and Lee in the hospital, etc.) The sakura blossom is known for its exceptional beauty and tragically short lifespan, and it is historically associated with samurai. Could this be just a coincidence? I have some more, but I don't want to hog the discussion. Have fun! Warning: Here be spoilers. Browse at your own risk. =P

Gaara's name and Kanji on his forehead is a pun for the term 'I love death'. The Kanji is the word 'love' and his name is a term for 'death'.

Everyone's name tells something about them. Sakura may die at the end of Naruto if that's the case.

Sakura is going with Naruto after Itachi. She may well be killed off.

I doubt my speculation has any canon basis--as well as its notoriety for early death and connotation to samurai, the sakura blossom is also known for its amazing beauty and connotation to love. Polar opposites there. I think her fate could go either way, but I'm really hoping she doesn't die. xP

How would she die, though? I think chakra exhaustion might be one. She could die trying to heal someone.

Death by chakra exhaustion would be a pretty anti-climactic death for a main character. I would be disappointed if she didn't die in a battle of some sort. If Sakura dies, I expect it to be in a fashion that parallels her fight in episode 32 against Dosu, Zaku, and Kin, except with nobody there to come to her aid. In my opinion, it would be heartbreaking to watch a fully-changed, fully-mature Sakura go through a fight that (in a way) she's already "won", to find that she can't win all by herself, despite how much stronger she is and how much she's grown.
But I think that would kill me. Seriously. xD

Yeah, if she has to die, I'd rather it be by an awesome battle instead of, "OMG, my chakra ran out. "

That would be bad if Sakura died, but it would make for a great plot twist. Gaara can also mean "defected night creature". Which he is.

Adding a spoiler warning to the thread, so you don't need to post OMGSPOILERZ every time. xD
Yeah, he died. But Chiyo revived him and she died. And I was sad.
