If you're unable to differentiate between several characters without epithets, that's just poor writing. You either need to make sure your characters don't all sound alike (because they're not supposed to, right?) or that you're structuring your dialogue properly so it's not confusing.

I don't think names are that jarring, to be honest. People skim dialogue tags. It's possible to go overboard, but again, that's the point of good writing. You write it in such a way that the conversation makes sense, that characters don't all blend together into one homogeneous mass, and you do it without resorting to a bunch of ridiculous "the blue-eyed man", "the short man", "the woman in red", etc. etc.
