Her naming sense is so awful i didn’t even manage to register the racism very much because how awful literally every name was. Holy shit series like Discworld or Malazan or Black Company are also full of ridiculous names but those feel just fine in universe, and Harry Potter was just awful, possibly because of britishness overdose.
Oh but later i seen how goblins look in the movies. Like nazi caricatures of Jews.
I don’t think Discworld naming is particularly bad, Pratchett was perfectly happy to use names like Susan, Polly, and Sam. The more out there ones were deliberate choices that mostly made sense imo, especially because they were at least partly pulling the piss out of stuff like malazan and black company
I dunno I might be a bit of a fanboy, I’ve read every Discworld novel, probably at least twice. Grew up with 'em, read my first around thirty odd years ago when I was about 12 or 13 years old.

I’m not saying it’s bad, the opposite, he was able to use quite a lot of silly names without sounding cringe.
