Some of those are still placeholders so I plan on redoing them later at that as well.
But I primarily am okay with some of those names myself.

I don't get this criticism. If this was real life sure your criticism might make some sense, though even then it sounds like your trying to force the English naming convention onto other languages.
But this is fiction, you can make all the chuuni ass-names you want. Alice Anotherbible is a cringe-ass name but story-wise at least kinda makes some sense since the character has relations to Alice in Wonderland and the bible.
There's no ruleset for fictional names, if you want to be realistic and name your characters real names then so do it. If you wanna go crazy and name your character Marcus Aurelius Julius Caesarus Octavius... that's fine too. It's also fine to pick fun at the names for not making sense or being cringe.
But don't force your own stereotypes on fiction. Now if this was real life. You have a very good point. Unless it's another language/ or naming convention.
Also, the names Michael and John Smith make sense to Americans or predominately English countries cause those names developed as part of the culture there.
I know many people who do double-takes at my Bangladeshi name because it's from an unfamiliar language.
The Moonstalker surname came from her two adopted brothers, thieves who steal food to survive because they’re a bunch of kids. She has a half-orc older brother Jochim and a half-wood elf younger brother Sarril, sort of based on Ryu, Teepo, and Rei from Breath of Fire. Before she met the brothers, she lived at an orphanage/church of Sarenrae. She had been brought up by the head Acolyte elf, Mother Liagwyn Winddew, who taught Darliana how to control her power because Liagwyn is a sorcerer, too, a Divine Soul sorcerer. At the same time, Darliana is a Shadow Magic sorcerer. Liagwyn taught her that her dark power doesn't define her as a bad person. Liagwyn eventually passes away. Before she was brought to the orphanage, she was found and raised by human parents, Marko Mirkovic and Kisaiya Mirkovic, part of a gypsy clan. Then a few years they vanished without a trace, including their trinkets and any remnant of them like they’d been erased. Her story is based on Koudelka, Breath of Fire II, and Breath of Fire III. Her warlock powers come from a black pendant that she always had. Her patron is a shadow drow dragon Nurvureem the Dark Lady.

Here is her entire backstory

Darliana Moonstalker's backstory
docs.google.com I feel like you are primarily looking at something completely different at this point...
Fiction is fiction but you want people to actually take the names seriously regardless.
There's a difference between Fayt Leingod and Edge Maverick and that's from the same franchise.
Making a cringe name and trying to stick with it because "fiction" is not a get out of jail free card. You can make any name you want but if it's especially stupid, you shouldn't be surprised if people will end up mocking it.
My other character for Monday’s game is based on Ornstein from Dark Souls. A Goliath Fighter Ranger.

Othaniel Skypiercer’s backstory
docs.google.com Yes and it's fine if people mock it. That's what I said? What I didn't like was you saying that people should change their naming conventions if there child is named thursday.
Again, I said a combination of Thursday and Friday, you missed my conversation entirely.
Naming someone after a Norse God isn't bad, naming someone after something isn't bad at all, naming someone like a combo of Wednesday and Monday combined feels like you didn't even try at all or even go for middle names.
Same thing with naming people like Edge Maverick, a name that would be normal if you just removed one or the other but comes off as hilariously silly when combined.
So again, I'm not one of those people who are cringe and say you shouldn't name characters after videogame characters or off of a concept like Hero... but I AM going to say that you shouldn't name someone something so ridiculous that they will get made fun of and not because of "different language or different timeframe" type deal.
>insurmountable intelligence advantage
Bruh, the Ministry of Magic hire people to find out how rubber ducks work. They aren't that smart.
Yeah, I'm not sure which character works precisely there but I know it's a literal job for that.
It was Author Weasley (Ron's dad)
i didnt even catch that
more intelligent than the species that invented instantaneous space travel?
The HP wizards are stupid enough not to work or learn about muggles with their technology. Could have a combination of magic and technology going on like Starship’s Mage.
What makes it better is Rowling retconned the wizards to be dumber than even Medieval peasants. Medieval peasants at least had places to shit.i didnt even catch that

Fuck, if you have a pet cat, even they have a special toilet place.
one of her many brilliant moments
I knew it was but I didn't have proof so I backed off of that.

A reminder that Arthur Weasely's biggest goal... was to find out how Muggles got Airplanes to stay up...
Yes, truly smarter than any Transformer ever managed...
"Werewolves are meant to represent people with HIV!"
So they're psychos who go around deliberately infecting children?
You really thought this one out, didn't you Rowling.
I've read series where organizations who are deliberately made out to be as dumb and incompetent as possible are still smarter than the Ministry of Magic.
