O.o
You got kind of mixed on the deity's domains, there.

In general I agree with you. I am guilty of this to a certain extent. When I make up a name (For D&D, GURPS [a Steve Jackson Game system], etc.) I have used names that sound nice, but don't make much sense. (ex: Kelvin, Belrain) For me the biggest offenders are Star Trek and Star Wars. T'Pol for example from Star Trek. If the story is good, I can gloss over unpronounceable name. This gets more difficult if the story uses too many characters with apostrophes or odd spellings in their names (especially if little or no thought has been put into their naming). I'll usually read as follows. Luke looked at *&^*&$^ and could see that *&^*&$^ would not stop writing characters with stupid outlandish names. Although a bunch of stupid outlandish names could be better than having a bunch of stupid common names.  Sincerely, Anthony

And how do you know whether or not thought has been put into the names, if I may ask?

Wow...I passed up on an opportunity to do a bit of Lismani babbling. Must have been feeling exceptional kind, and not wanted to burden you poor souls by my boring ramblings.
