I do think there's enough evidence to call this Messianic prophesy, it also lends credence to the idea that these names are not as they seem to us 3500 years later. It further and properly breaks down the idea that you cannot take this passage at face value. Again, how obvious to the ancients would this have been knowing the meaning of the names?
Regarding Kenan's name meaning 'spear' recall that Jesus was pierced with a spear, which was foretold elsewhere and confirmed in the Gospels.
I'd ultimately want to see a deeper discussion of the names and translations, carefully laid out. I did not search for further resources, though.
The exclusion of Noah's sons seems natural considering they would be re-populating the post-flood Earth. This is old vs new. They'd logically require a new genealogy. On a side note if their genetics had degraded they'd need more material to avoid resultant genetic problems that Adam and Eve's immediate progeny avoided - thus the need for 8 instead of 2.
The typo "mage lapel" made me chuckle.

I find this is a great resource for understanding biblical names. https://www.abarim-publications.com/index.html
