I don't have a problem with made-up names, some can be very interesting, as long as they don't sound too "out there" (they're not too long/too futuristic/don't overuse the letter y).

As a writer I come up with names all the time, the trick is to create a name that sounds like it could already exist in some culture, by either altering an existing name or borrowing name elements commonly found in the culture you want to emulate.
