Not just that. Every member of the team represents you. If they have a name that people think is funny or stupid, someone else will assume the team is stupid or not to be taken seriously. I also don't want to have to deal with fights among those who report to me when someone teases them about their name ... which happens even with adults.

If I hire someone named Frank N. Stein, people will think it's a joke.
