If you take into account vowel shifts you can can even parse some of the names for their meanings without looking at the dictionary:

Ahldskyf .... ahld=old, skyf=ship
Rostnsthal .... rostn=rusty, sthal=steel
Bloefhis .... bloe=blue, fhis=fish
Rammbroes .... ramm=ram, broes=chest (via breast)

You are missing the point. The game is played by modern people that interact with every day internet. When you think you are being too smart/smug it will probably backfire. Certain words from old languages do not mean the same. I bet if you showed those letter combinations to most people outside of MMOs they would probably think its a captcha.
