Okay, is it just me, or could Xanathar's 18 pages of names been better spent elaborating on magic item creation?
Probably not. 18 pages is almost exactly the wrong space for magic item creation - it's far too much for people who like is quite vague, and nowhere near enough for people who want it detailed.
That said, I personally would have preferred them to use those 18 pages for something else - I felt the price point and page count of the book was already pushing it, before turning over 18 pages to lists of names.
But, ultimately, it's WotC's prerogative to fill their books with whatever material they think is appropriate, and indeed to set the page counts and price points accordingly. We then get to decide whether we think the resulting product is worth it. My opinion was that I couldn't recommend "Xanathar's Guide" to others, but YMMV of course.
