Well, I basically agree with you - if I recognize a word-name, then it just looks to me like a confusing error, and think why would you want to separate a word-name from the word? But, if it's not too aesthetically displeasing to me, I get used to it quickly. I'm accustomed to learning fairly arbitrary name spellings.
Elisabeth,
Norah,
Aiden, etc.
Even when I don't find them aesthetically pleasing myself. I do find some respellings pleasing, so I try to understand them that way.
