I read a lot of scifi and have generally been impressed by the naming. I dislike Cratylic names when they&#x27;re trite but authors like Phillip K. Dick and Gene Wolfe manage to pull them off. Neal Stephenson uses them humorously in Snowcrash (the protagonist&#x27;s name is &#x27;Hiro Protagonist&#x27;). I can&#x27;t say I&#x27;m a fan of Asimov&#x27;s names in the Foundation series - not Cratylic, just a bit off sounding. &quot;Bayta Darrell&quot; doesn&#x27;t give the same brain-feeling as &quot;Severian&quot; or &quot;Paul Atreides&quot;.
