I don't think it means that in Chinese. However I agree it is not a decent name.

金 = gold/golden, 玉 = jade, 鹅 = goose

Usually the more chars resembling wealth in your name, the less educated family you may be from. Basically it just shows your eagerness to become rich. Not to mention the last character, which is rarely used char in names, who wants to name their child "goose"?

金 and 玉 are actually common in names, but usually combined with other good words like 诺(promise), 心(heart),... something like that. Decent names are not that straightforward and I think it may be the same in the western world.
