This is a good point about reading vs. speaking and what we're most used to. I doubt the Puritans were that illiterate since reading their bible was presumably pretty important to them, but they surely did a lot less reading of names, compared to saying them!
I have the "swill" problem with the name Godswill, too.
Lol, now that you mentioned this, if I ever read of Godsmack again I'm going to find myself reading it as "God's mack."
Maybe modern people could spell it Godzwyl - haha that is kinda cool in a way?
