The name of demons

Since C.S. Lewis wrote The Screwtape letters, there are many writers who seek to imitate Lewis's insights using a similar conceit. One thing I've noticed about these efforts is that they most often use names for the demons that are two syllables long and end in a percussive consonant (voiced or unvoiced). I wonder why? It seems to make sensse, though.
