Authenticity in character names

I am using this website to create authentic names for characters of various nationalities. I have a question, why do so many writers use names that are unauthentic to the language of the character? On a related note is Ilosovic an actual Slavic name and is the usage of that name in Alice in wonderland just another example of pulling out random names because they sound "exotic"? If not, what is it?
