I admit, I was confused at first too, thinking that you’d want the non-named human NPCs to be Bruces and Sheilas.
But you know, what you’re actually suggesting here is a pretty good idea. If nothing else, it would make explaining things and surroundings to other people easier if we could call things by their actual names rather than try to describe “the black and red bug, about the size of an outhouse, with translucent insect wings on its back” - or letting it kill you to find out what it was.
