No, it doesn't. You as a writer, writing it out every time, assume this to be the case. A reader's brain, reading, registers names (and dialogue tags, incidentally, e.g. "said") as punctuation. Whereas an epithet interrupts the reader's steady processing of the narrative like a bump in the road.

Actually, specifying who's talking or doing stuff in the narrative is needed a lot less often than people assume. Written skillfully, a story will take care of 90% of that with just the character's voices and with careful control over the level of free indirect discourse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_indirect_speech).

This is one of the most common mistakes writers make. Even published writers.
