Thanks to Kabalarian Philosophy, we can take an insightful look into the hidden meanings of some of the fairies' names. The gray font is from Kabalarian, and the regular blue font is my thoughts on it.
Navi
"...Gives you tenacity of purpose and has made you extremely independent. Whatever you undertake, you approach from your own point of view, and others either have to conform to your ideas or go their own way and leave you to work things out for yourself. You are so narrowly focused in your pursuits that you frequently overlook the little personal considerations and attentions that create a bond of understanding and sense of companionship. Thus it is difficult for you to merge your efforts harmoniously with others."
Sorta explains why so many people find the beloved Navi annoying - because she cares so much about making sure Link saves Hyrule! Can you blame her though? After Link enters the Sacred Realm all hell breaks loose. I'd be worried too! Another note on Navi's name is that it is short for "navigation", which is true since Navi 'navigates' you through the order in which the game is completed. She also navigates your aim when fighting with the Z/L targeting.
Tatl
"...Creates a very independent, practical, analytical nature with skillful business abilities. You desire freedom from restrictions and authority in order that you can pursue your own ambitions. This name gives you leadership qualities and you are seldom happy in positions where you must take direction from others. Material and financial success are the focus of your interests, but sacrificing much for material ambition will result in a lack of harmony and balance in your personal life, particularly a lack of appreciation for social courtesies and things of a more inspirational nature."
I think this fits Tatl well. A little rough on the outside, but soft on the inside. Just like old doughnuts! ^-^; It also helps explain her bossy-ness and difficulty saying "thank you", but not her deep caring for her brother. Also, "Tatl" is a play on the English word "tattle" as in "tattle-tell", which is what you call someone when they rat you out to a grown-up for doing something bad. Silly children.
Tael
"...Makes you serious-minded, responsible, and stable. You love the security of a home and family and you are fond of children. Although you have good business judgment, you are not aggressive in your dealings because you do not like to create issues. You would be successful in any position dealing with the public as you have a diplomatic and tactful manner and possess a charming, easy-going nature, which puts people at ease. People are drawn to you because they feel that you are patient, kind, understanding, and responsive."
Hmmm... Well, Tael was pretty laid-back in the game & manga, like playing games with the Skullkid and sticking by his side despite the problems he caused and getting separated from his sister. He did have a serious side too, like when telling Tatl right away about bringing in the four Giants, despite earning some bruises from the skullkid. Also, "Tael" is a play on the English word "tell" as in "tattle-tell", which is what you call someone when they rat you out to a grown-up for doing something bad.
Felica
"...Makes you very idealistic and generous, with the strong desire to uplift humanity leading you into situations where you can express your desire to serve others. You want to assume responsibilities and to look after people; however, you can become too involved in other people's problems and tend to worry. Your name gives you a natural desire to express along artistic and musical lines. You desire a settled home and family life, and are expressive and attentive to your loved ones."
Felica was a fairy assigned to Link by the mysterious owl Kaebora Gaebora in the Link's Awakening manga. She collected and managed the instruments that Link found, along with helping him and getting on his nerves. ^-^; Too bad she wasn't in the game too, she was pretty cool. Anyway, the name meaning sounds right on.
