I'm apparently the only person who thought these books were terrible. I barely made it through Wizard of Earthsea. The story meandered and never seemed to go anywhere, the names were unpronounceable and unmemorable, and the ending dragged on and on.
Each to their own, but this seems an odd criticism; do you have an example of a name that struck you as such in it?
As someone else mentioned, Kurremkarmerruk is a prime example. Other than the occasional "Sparrowhawk" many of them just didn't stick well or roll off the tongue.
