You can trademark names, yes. But there are some restrictions. For something to be in violation of a trademark it has to be likely to cause sufficient public confusion that it dilutes the brand value of the original trademark holder. I think JK Rowling would have a hard time proving that a pony named Time Turner dilutes the brand value of the Harry Potter franchise. So I doubt that a trademark lawsuit would stand up here.
