No, the alternative is having 100s of things that are basically right, with a few that are misleading. I'll take that any day over all cute names, because I only have to remember the exceptions. Not theoretical, I've been in that situation. Also, purpose drift is technical debt. Using meaningless names is just a way of hiding that debt. A service that doesn't match it's name has evolved into a bad place and needs to be refactored. You want to be able to see that.
