This isn't generally bad. I worked with both and having TableNameID makes a lot of sense when you write more SQL code. It makes join conditions way easier to read.

Yeah definitely, and since I'm using the ids to correspond to other numeric columns in one base table then using a view to display strings instead of underlying integers, I think it's passable for the time being.
