I guess the one positive in the change is that the one Dotrice voice that annoyed me most of all was Brienne's. It was too small and mousy (I actually am not a fan of Dotrice's smallfolk/women voices) for her. I am not sure how long I could listen to "Have you seen an auburn hair maiden of three and ten?" in that voice.
Still, Dotrice is a great reader. He nails Tyrion. I really hope his schedule works out and he can read for "Dance" whenver that may be...
I never really imagined Aero Hotah as having a Scottish accent either, but I don't mind it.

Funny enough, I had to read each name you wrote very slowly. I have read and listened to the first book, but only listened to the next 3. A number of those names I've never even
seen before.
Part of the problem is probably also inherent in the change of readers. We get used to a pronunciation and a voice and we can't accept anything else.
