Philander is an established surname here in South Africa! Luckily, most people don't do much etymology in their spare time! Try Googling Vernon Philander for a famous bearer du jour.
Rosella I know as a name for the hibiscus flower, and I suspect it's an Australian placename.
Eliphalet and Salathiel probably had parents who chose names for them by opening the Bible at random and using the first suitably gendered name they spotted. Same with Jerusha, probably. Not a system I'd recommend.
