Why can't we change the names of our little peeps

Just wondering one ,why the names are so odd and two why can't we Change the names to our liking. It's not a big deal I just can't help but wonder!! Hope to do this in the future!!

If you are playing on a PC you can change the names. It's just on iOS or Android that you can't.

I also wonder why the names are unusual, I guess it adds uniqueness to the game.

Arthur's wife, Carla, is Italian (Arthur is the developer of the game). I understand Carla thought up a lot of the peeps' names, many of which show a definite Italian influence.

I often permit my peeps to keep their names just depends on my mood or on the story going on in my head :-)
