Yes, of course. Names like Anass and Basemath, for example, were harshly judged by commenters and posters, but very few of them implied that they had checked the specifics of the names such as the language, pronunciation and meaning. If we didn't check these things, we would be linking them to blind associations and ignoring the actual importance of the name in question -- only the surface would be left, and that's hardly meaningful. My own name is considered "harsh" and "ugly" and "old-fashioned" by some, but there exists a rich, luscious layer of meaning beneath the letters. This is true for all names.
