Those aren't main cast and most aren't even named on screen.

If by "Most", you mean "A quarter", then yes ;-)

For the record I agree with your general point. Outside of the OT (Which isn't totally immune) there are some truly terrible name choices. Almost to the point that you think the writers are trying to make them laughably bad on purpose. The worst is when they just pick a name for evil at random from the dictionary and call the villain that e.g.

Savage Opress from TCW and Agent Kallus from the new Rebels show.

It shows a woeful lack of imagination that is almost impressive. I'm sure at some point in the future there'll be a Sith Lord called 'Baad Gi', it's just a matter of when.
