The final glyph names that are written to the font should be entries in the Adobe Glyph List or uniXXXX names. There are applications, most notably Acrobat, that need names in this form in order to be able to reconstruct text strings from the drawn glyphs. I agree that during font production it is easiest to work with a set of human-friendly names, but one should make the change to AGL/uniXXXX names before shipping the font. In FontLab 4.0, it is very easy to do this using a Python script and a text file that maps your human-friendly names to final glyph names.
